I have used this book as a course book for my mediation course for the past three terms and will still use it for the next term. I must say that I am extremely happy with the content of and structure of the book.
The book introduces students to the field of mediation from a theoretical and practical perspective. This is done in clear and simple language. I consider this book very suitable for teaching and introducing undergrads to the field of mediation.
Instructor resources are also very good and helpful. These resources have greatly aided me to teach this class more effectively and easily.
Many students also indicate in their feedback during course evaluation how much they have enjoyed the book.
The only thing I would have loved as part of the package is for the package to include video resources as well such as video links, YouTube videos, online video simulations etc. Overall, this is the best textbook on a general introduction to the field of mediation. -- Dr Elvis Nshom Ngwayuh * drupal *
