Synopsis

Conflict Resolution & Mediation in the Real World, is the work of Frank Hanna, a man with a passion for peace. He has spent a lifetime unraveling the root nature of dispute and the human suffering that accompanies it. In his book, Frank deals with conflict at all levels; from the slightest neighborhood disagreement, to the pitfalls of politically charged issues that can, and often do, lead to violence or war. Although many books have been written and produced about alternatives to traditional dispute resolution, this is the first that is written in an autobiographical style that is rich with stories that range from the humorous to historical accounts. Described as a charismatic Irish author and instructor, Frank combines elements of his personal experience with a school of life education to guide readers toward solutions that are realistic, effective, and lasting.

From the Author:

Making the decision to write this book was daunting, but compelling. The message needed to be clear; mediation is the answer to much of what is wrong with the world today. That is to say, I, coming from Northern Ireland have a clear perspective on the human ingredient in conflict, and learned very early that talk does work. However, I had to make the journey myself from litigator to mediator, and it is that story that I share with readers in Conflict Resolution and Mediation in the Real World. I hope readers enjoy this book and that it makes their own journey a little less time consumning than my own. Enjoy!
