Another book for my Masters. Not a bad book compared to the other two I read for this class. I'd recomend this book for anyone going into some sort of arbitrator job.

Analysis of how individuals and groups deal with or avoid conflict. I am now sick of this book, as I had to write a long paper on it, but it's a solid work on the subject.
