In the past decade, the number of attorneys in the United States has doubled and liability rates have increased dramatically. Against this background, a quiet revolution is taking place in the methods Americans use to deal with conflicts. This work is a guide to the new techniques of alternative dispute resolution. It contains examples of how particular conflicts have been resolved, and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of face-to-face resolution from the viewpoints of potential participants and others affected by the outcomes or costs of conflict. In addition the book offers advice for analyzing conflict situations and identifying goals.

"He says, ‘I will never hurt you.’ That’s the moment that I know. There will be pain. The only question now, how deep the cut goes." “Linda Singer poems persuade that all poems are love poems, either by inclusion or difference. Her poems of love lived, gathered, and survived, extract the sweetness of the water of life whether it be in the form of cruel ice or evasive vapor. While mapping the strange dances between angels and crows, she convinces that in passion, loss, and struggle, selfless ‘wingless' love is the only true reward.” — Gary Jacobelly, playwright and poet "Linda Singer is a story teller. She captures the reader with her “smoldering dreams/ of pleasure and sanction and consent.” This is not a roses and violins book of love poems. It’s the bloody, giddy, real deal." — Elaine Mintzer
