BOOK Club: Summer Reading
30 June 2007I love to read and isn’t summer just the best time to get lots of good reading in?
As you lounge by the pool or at the beach or in your hammock in the shade… as you take your summer vacations…
Here’s my first summer reading booK: Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonble People by G. Richard Shell.
Now, this book isn’t “new” it was published in 1999, so for those of you who have been around awhile and have read it, sorry, I will find some newer books to add to our summer reading list.
For those of you who haven’t yet read Shell’s book, it is excellent and will help you immensely in your mediation work. Shell, a professor of negotiation at the prestigious Wharton School, has canvassed both academic literature and popular negotiation literature and combines this with his years of experience teaching top executives how to negotiate better.
This is one of the better books on negotiation out there (in the popular category). It is not written for academics, so it’s easy to read and practical.

I love the idea of a Book Club for Mediators and folks interested in the same. I am also an avid reader…I’m taking “The Power of a Positive No” by William Ury on my vacation tomorrow–but my favorite mediation book lately is: “The Moral Imagination” by John Lederach. Thanks for sparking this dialiogue, Kristina!
