Despite my 4 vs. 5 star rating, I really did like this (but it's a textbook and I can't bring myself to be that person who gives textbooks 5 stars, sorry Pruitt). That said, there isn't a page that isn't highlighted or underscored with my notes in the margins drawing the applications to the various spheres of conflict.

This is a fundamental and easy read without demeaning the complexity of conflicts. It is worthwhile introduction for understanding the theory of conflicts and gaining a broadened awareness of every aspect of them, as well as the theories that can help dismantle them.

secara keseluruhan buku ini bagus dan layak untuk dibaca.
penjelasannya tentang konflik dimulai dengan menjelaskan defenisi konflik dan strategi2 yang akan diambil ketika sebuah pihak sedang berkonflik. kemudian dijelaskan faktor2 apa yang membuat orang akan berkonflik, dilengkapi dengan sebuah diagram untuk menjelasaknnya.

buku ini juga menjelasakan taktik-taktik yang bisa digunakan saat orang berkonflik dan bagaimana konflik bereskalasi.

This book serves as a primer for conflict and conflict resolution strategies. It provides an easy-to-read, compact overview of conflict--it's sources, tactics used, and means to manage and/or resolve conflict. It's an academic, rather than pop culture, book so probably not one for the casual reader.

Read for class.
