The human fascination with fire is thousands of years old. Fire is the great paradox: it provides warmth, energy and protection but also terror and destruction.

14: Inside the Violent Mind
Acts of violence seem to be everywhere. We are bombarded by images and stories of violence on TV, in the media, on our socials and even in our own lives.
