This revolutionary book shows how through mediation parties can escape the trap of conflict rather than remain ensnared within its grasp at enormous cost to themselves and others. The authors demonstrate how mediators, and lawyers, can support parties to work together effectively in ways that deeply respect their humanity. Through the telling of ten riveting stories of actual commercial mediations, the principles and methodologies of the understanding-based approach come alive. In so "challenging conflict," the authors also challenge the conflict resolution field to reach for more.

Negotiator's Fieldbook, The
Editors: Andrea Kupfer Schneider, Christopher Honeyman
Regular Price: $49.95 Law Student Division Members/$59.95 Section of Dispute Resolution Members/$69.95 ABA Members/$79.95 Non-Members
Edited by Andrea Kupfer Schneider and Christopher Honeyman and featuring 80 contributors, The Negotiator's Fieldbook is the most comprehensive book on negotiation available. And the concept that "everybody negotiates" is increasingly accepted as wisdom. A world in which small manufacturers find their customers and their suppliers on the far side of the globe, in which lifetime stability of employment has been replaced by successive negotiation for new jobs, and in which prenuptial agreements and mediated divorces flank a noticeable percentages of marriages, makes the fact of continuous negotiation more and more obvious.

The principal drafters of the vignettes included John Phillips, an arbitrator and mediator with the Blackwell Sanders Peper Martin law firm in Kansas City, Dennis Sharp, an arbitrator and mediator of Sharp Resolutions in Washington, D.C.; and, Dean Emeritus Lani Bader of Golden Gate University School of Law who is a full time arbitrator. The production was a joint project of the Arbitration Committee and the Advocacy & Corporate ADR Committee of the Dispute Resolution Section of the ABA.

Creative Problem Solver's Handbook for Negotiators and Mediators, Volume One
Author: John W. (Jack) Cooley
Regular Price: $48.00/ $38.00 Section of Dispute Resolution Members
The Handbook takes a pracademic approach to creative problem solving in negotiation and mediation. 'Pracademics' used to describe the art and science of translating the theory of creative problem solving into practice, and conversely, converting the practice of creative problem solving into theory. It encourages an interdisciplinary approach to solving problems and seeks to draw upon the expertise of one discipline to enhance the problem solving effectiveness in another. It is particularly attentive to the areas between disciplines - the interstitial areas of overlap and ambiguity -- because it is that territory that is often fertile in discovery, surprise, and insight.
Volume One of the Handbook is primarily geared to serve as a guide, generally, to practitioners, academics, and students in the practice, teaching, and study of creative problem solving methods, tools, and techniques. The Handbook's approach is eclectic, and Volume One provides the practitioner with a panoply of potential ideas from the creative problem solving literature. With these ideas, the negotiation/mediation practitioner can experiment in ways that satisfy his or her personal experiences, skills, and talents.

Volume Two of the Handbook is focused on specific creative problem solving techniques and tools that negotiation/mediation practitioners across the country have found to be effective in resolving disputes or making deals. A highly useful feature of Volume Two is its multiple indexing to facilitate identifying techniques or tools appropriate for the problem solving task.
