--Charles Pou, Jr., Charles Pou Dispute Resolution Services, Washington, D.C.; former director, Dispute Resolution Program, Administrative Conference of the U.S.
“This book’s important message--that dispute
resolution’s proponents need to pay more attention to the
field’s surprisingly long and checkered history--is
illustrated by a trove of wide-ranging and lively
stories.”
--Chris Honeyman, mediator, arbitrator, and founder, Convenor
Conflict Resolution, Madison, Wisconsin
“Barrett provides a fascinating account of the history of
dispute resolution. From ancient Greece to the twenty-first
century, sustainable solutions to conflicting interests have seldom
resulted from raw exercise of power.”
--John Stepp, former FMCS mediator and former assistant secretary
of labor, Washington, D.C.
“For senior practitioners as well as those new to the ADR
community, Barrett’s book makes an important contribution to
an understanding of where this dynamic field has been and what lies
ahead for it.”
--Wallace Warfield, associate professor, George Mason University,
Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution and former president
of SPIDR, Fairfax, Virginia
“Anyone who cares about alternative dispute resolution and
its historical roots must read Jerry Barrett’s excellent
book. Here is someone who was there, almost at the creation, and
who has seen how this field has grown, expanded, and changed and
who has made great contributions to this field.”
--Eileen Hoffman, mediator, trainer, adjunct professor of ADR,
George Washington University Law School and former SPIDR president,
Washington, D.C.
“Finally, a history of our growing profession! Anyone who
negotiates, mediates, arbitrates, or leads collaborative or
consensus-building efforts will learn from this fascinating history
of one of the oldest professional activities--organizing dialogue
and making peace.”
--Juliana E. Birkhoff, senior mediator, RESOLVE, Washington,
D.C.
