Review:

''Stulberg and Love have accomplished the impossible task of writing a book on mediation which is accessible and valuable to everyone from the most experienced mediator and trainer to the unwitting person who finds themselves thrust into the position of mediator.'' --Sharon B. Press, Director, Dispute Resolution Institute, Hamline University School of Law (on the first edition)

''In this elegantly concise guide to mediation success, Stulberg and Love generously share their secrets and practical wisdom gleaned from two decades of mediating and mediation training collaboration. Reading it is like taking the world's best mediation training course with the luxury of repeating it whenever you need to.'' --James R. Coben, Professor of Law and Senior Fellow, Dispute Resolution Institute, Hamline University School of Law (on the first edition)

''There is simply no one in the conflict resolution field who knows more about the theory and practice of facilitative mediation than the authors of this book. Both are master practitioners, teachers and trainers, whose former students are leaders in the field today.'' --Robert A. Baruch Bush, Rains Distinguished Professor of ADR Law, Hofstra Law School (on the first edition)
