If you are looking for quick fixes and simplistic solutions to conflict this book is not for you. The highly analytical approach illuminates the complexities of conflict management. Folger et al do an excellent job exploring the theoretical and psychological background necessary to evaluate the implicit and explicit causes and conditions involved in and effectively pursue solutions to disputes at mutiple levels. You wont find this book on the NY Times bestsellers list because it is a textbook. Graduate student and practiotioners can expect to draw upon it as an invaluable resource. Unlike most of those popular books this book doesn't just 'get you to yes', it actually has more weight and substance than most everything else out there. If you want a popular book on the topic of conflict that most non-professionals will find approachable read "Difficult Conversations." You will find it enjoyable and highly accessible.

This book is fantastic for learning about conflict and how best to work through it. It was assigned in a graduate course I was taking and it gave great examples of everyday conflicts that we experience in our regular lives, so other students and I could relate. Delivery was fast and efficient and the product arrived in mint condition.

Folgers conflict resolution provides more infomation about the role of conflict in ones life and how to address those concerns. I would have preferred the print to be a bit larger now that I am wearing glasses. The author(s) gets to the root of conflict.Read and be willing to learn.

Hey, look it was the textbook I needed for the current course I am in. What do you want from me.

I was very pleased with my purchase. The person I bought this book from lived very close by. he was able to bring me the book right away. Overall, I would say great job!
