A revolutionary new guide to negotiating in the face of stress, adversity, and powerlessness?from a professor of negotiation and conflict management at NYU's Stern School of Business and Columbia's School of International & Public Affairs. Negotiation is hard. It's especially hard when you enter it at a disadvantage?whether you have less information, less power, or come to the bargaining table with the pressure of knowing that the other side can afford to not make a deal at all, while you cannot. There are a lot of negotiation books out there. But they tend to be written for C-Suite execs, law enforcement, high-level VIPs: people who already have the weight of authority on their side. What about when you don't hold all the cards, or even any of them? Most of us aren't attempting to talk down armed gunmen or close multi-million-dollar deals, but we do want to squeeze the best salary out of a job offer, negotiate that extra month of free rent, and finally settle whose in-laws are hosting Thanksgiving this year.Seth Freeman has spent two decades teaching students, business executives, and UN diplomats how to do just that. In 15 Tools to Turn the Tide, he reveals his patented method for getting the best out of truly difficult situations. With a narrative organized around the four defining principles that guide any successful negotiation?preparation, strategic planning, in-the-moment poise, and deciding whether or not to accept the offer?Freeman empowers readers with a full kit of the 15 tools necessary for success. Understandable, memorable, and groundbreaking, the tools range from Build a Swiss Army Knife for Adversity (Tool #2) to Win Warmly (Tool #8), from Become a Godzilla Whisperer (Tool #9) to Decide with Three Birds in the Bush (Tool #13).Written especially for those of us who don't enjoy negotiating (and who does?), 15 Tools to Turn the Tide offers a roadmap for resilience, whatever life throws at us.

Adults with siblings actually have two sets: the flesh-and-blood ones they grew up with, who have changed and aged together, and the ones who are a creation of their childhood perceptions, resentments, and idealizations about the original siblings. These siblings, like ghosts, are not visible; they never age. People carry them within, and, at varying times, are haunted by them. The ghosts have four components--frozen images, crystallized roles, unhealthy loyalty, and sibling transference--each of which has a unique effect on one's adult life and all may be transferred onto important adults in their love, work, and friendship lives.

This two-volume, edited collection lays the groundwork for an international exploration of incarceration and generation, covering a range of geographic, judicial and administrative contexts of incarceration from contributors across a range of subjects. Volume II examines intergenerational relations issues within contexts of incarceration. It focuses on the intergenerational continuities in imprisonment; intergenerational justice and citizenship; the impacts of incarceration on multiple generations and within families; and media representations of the intergenerationality of incarceration. Volume I explores an array of experiences, dynamics, cultures, interventions, and impacts of incarceration in different generations. This collection speaks to academics in criminology, sociology, psychology, and law, and to practitioners and policymakers interested in incarceration.

Die Texte in diesem Band von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, von Aktivisten und betroffenen Menschen und Journalisten widmen sich verschiedenen Aspekten der Aufarbeitung sexuellen Kindesmissbrauchs insbesondere unterschiedlichen Tatkontexten wie der Familie, dem Sport, Schulen oder den Kirchen. Sexueller Kindesmissbrauch geschieht in allen Bereichen unserer Gesellschaft, in denen Kinder aufwachsen. Dennoch ist das Thema weitgehend tabuisiert. Die Aufarbeitung sexueller Gewalt trägt dazu bei, die Gesellschaft zu sensibilisieren, vergangenes Unrecht sichtbar und die Stimmen betroffener Menschen hörbar zu machen. Der Blick in die Vergangenheit ist notwendig, um erkennen, warum die Gewalt geschehen konnte, warum Kindern nicht geholfen, weggeschaut, vertuscht und geschwiegen wurde, aber vor allem, damit wir wissen, wie wir Kinder und Jugendliche in Zukunft besser schützen können.

Real solutions to a hidden epidemic: family estrangement.Estrangement from a family member is one of the most painful life experiences. It is devastating not only to the individuals directly involved--collateral damage can extend upward, downward, and across generations, More than 65 million Americans suffer such rifts, yet little guidance exists on how to cope with and overcome them. In this book, Karl Pillemer combines the advice of people who have successfully reconciled with powerful insights from social science research. The result is a unique guide to mending fractured families.Fault Lines shares for the first time findings from Dr. Pillemer's ten-year groundbreaking Cornell Reconciliation Project, based on the first national survey on estrangement; rich, in-depth interviews with hundreds of people who have experienced it; and insights from leading family researchers and therapists. He assures people who are estranged, and those who care about them, that they are not alone and that fissures can be bridged.Through the wisdom of people who have "been there," Fault Lines shows how healing is possible through clear steps that people can use right away in their own families. It addresses such questions as: How do rifts begin? What makes estrangement so painful? Why is it so often triggered by a single event? Are you ready to reconcile? How can you overcome past hurts to build a new future with a relative?Tackling a subject that is achingly familiar to almost everyone, especially in an era when powerful outside forces such as technology and mobility are lessening family cohesion, Dr. Pillemer combines dramatic stories, science-based guidance, and practical repair tools to help people find the path to reconciliation.

This volume explores the lives and work of those who are kept out of poverty by their employment, but who occupy tenuous social positions and subaltern jobs.Presenting a score of household portraits - urban, suburban, and rural - the authors examine what it means to 'get by' in France today, considering the material and symbolic resources that these households can muster, and the practices that give meaning to their lives. With attention to their aspirations and disappointments - and their desire to be 'like everyone else' in a supposedly egalitarian society that nonetheless gives them little credit for their effort - this book offers a sociological interpretation of their situations, offering new insights into what it means to be 'working class' in a 21st-century post-industrial society. Combining statistical analyses with ethnographically-based examinations of how changes in the structure of the employment market relate to plans for upward mobility, Subaltern Workers in Contemporary France sheds light on the ways in which class identity - along with all its associated practices, tastes, and aspirations - has changed since the sociological classics on the working classes were published over half a century ago.As such, this book will appeal to sociologists with interests in the sociology of the family, social class, and the sociology of work.

Building on their past work in race and family communication, Rhunette C. Diggs and Thomas J. Socha gather in this volume contemporary theory and research concerning ways that families use communication to transform inherited cultural legacies for the better (Communication 3.0).The book expands the field of communication's understanding of the life-long impact that family communication has on the managing diverse and clashing cultural relationships, identities, meanings, and communication practices. It spotlights the economically disenfranchised alongside the economically secure, the systematically oppressed next to beneficiaries of Whiteness, and those actually or metaphorically killed and or threatened by violence and hateful systems outside of home. Together, the contributions address omissions of diverse family contexts in family communication research and reconsider qualitative and quantitative approaches that bring respect and equality to the participant-researcher relationship.This book is suitable as a supplementary text for courses in family communication, family studies, race and ethnicity in communication, and intergroup communication.
