On the back cover William Pollack, Ph.D.(author of Real Boys) calls this book a "must read!" I agree with Dr. Pollack 100%. The authors have put together the most comprehensive and insightful book on bullying that I have been able to find. I especially like the focus on research proven intervention and prevention strategies. That way we know they work. This book is also unique in that it seems as though it would be beneficial to both professionals (teachers, psychologists, counselors) and parents. If you want state of the art information on bullying and what to do about it, this book is for you.

The editors of this book have compiled a broad cross section of the current research on bullying and prevention strategies. This is an excellent book for anyone who would like to understand bullying. I also enloyed the website devoted to this topic at : http://www.bullyinginamericanschools.com

This book is an excellent resource for people in academia. It provides a wealth of information about bullying in schools. Definitely, this is a great start and more work needs to be done on research and bullying!
