Book Description
Who is the green man who stares down enigmatically for the corbels and capitals of churches across Europe? He has been linked to Robin Hood, Pan, the Oak King and the Holly King.

Appearing in no particular order, each quotation is dated and attributed to its source and—where appropriate—accompanied by explanatory asides and supporting statistics, making it the perfect companion guide for any fan of Man U.

Little Book of Conflict Transformation

Author: John Lederach
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 168099042X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 71

Book Description
This clearly articulated statement offers a hopeful and workable approach to conflict—that eternally beleaguering human situation. John Paul Lederach is internationally recognized for his breakthrough thinking and action related to conflict on all levels—person-to-person, factions within communities, warring nations. He explores why "conflict transformation" is more appropriate than "conflict resolution" or "management." But he refuses to be drawn into impractical idealism. Conflict Transformation is an idea with a deep reach. Its practice, says Lederach, requires "both solutions and social change." It asks not simply "How do we end something not desired?" but "How do we end something destructive and build something desired?" How do we deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the long-term situation? What disciplines make such thinking and practices possible? This title is part of The Little Books of Justice and Peacebuilding series.
