This is an edited collection displaying new orientations to the study of human conflicts, especially interpersonal ones.  It gives welcome attention to the emotional life of people who find themselves in disagreement, studying goals, adolescents, and race, among other personal matters.  Culture and group identity, with attention to in-group and out-group relations, are also matters that receive needed attention here.  Chapters navigate smoothly between quantitative and qualitative methods, making this a suitable book for anyone seeking advanced understanding of the nature of conflict. -- Dale Hample, University of Maryland, College Park
