In this book John Burton and Frank Dukes place their theory of conflict and its resolution in a wider context by exploring both theoretical and practical issues of resolving difference and by categorizing types of disputes and conflicts. By broadening their focus beyond the nature of conflict the authors discuss such methods of resolution as Alternative Dispute Resolution, second track diplomacy, various forms of mediation, community efforts to resolve social tension, and other endeavours which seek cooperative relations at all societal levels.

The fourth part of a set of four volumes which seeks to provide an historical and theoretical perspective for consideration of theory and practice in conflict resolution and provention. The author puts forward an adequate theory of behaviour which they contend is needed to provide a basis for the analysis and resolution of conflict. The other volumes cover human needs theory and readings in management, settlement, and resolution in addition to a detailed description of the facilitated conflict resolution process. There is a growing public awareness of the need for alternatives to deterrence and coercion in the handling of conflicts at all social levels. The study of problem solving in human relationships, is relevant to a wide variety of careers, in addition to the training of facilitators of conflict resolution. It is a basic training for those engaged in business and institutional organization, in public policy and in public administration. This book is a general survey of management, settlement and confict resolution practices. Conflict, its resolution and provention, comprises an a-disciplinary study, that is, a synthesis that goes beyond separate disciplines, beyond interaction between separate disciplines, and beyond any synthesis of approaches from several disciplines. An a-disciplinary approach accepts no boundaries of knowledge.

Martin Robertson

In the course of human prehistory and continuing to the present day, culture has played a prominent role in transforming the human form. From birth to death, the body serves as a medium and metaphor of cultural expression. This book provides a broadly comparative perspective on the many and varied ways in which the human body has been sculpted and transformed by particular cultural traditions and argues that in significant ways, the human body has transcended the laws of natural selection. To appreciate the human body is to acknowledge the various ways in which it has become a cultural artifact rather than a purely natural phenomenon.
