Be ready for an an academic work

Heard John Paul Lederach interviewed on a podcast and was so impressed I wanted to read one of his books. Perhaps this was not the best choice. While I was able to gain many insights, as the back cover review states, “Recommended for upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses, faculty, and mediation practitioners.”
