Features: This book transforms negotiation from an art into a science, providing win-win solutions for all parties involved. The book features a unique and clever design, applying mathematical methods to solve real-world problems. It offers formulaic procedures for resolving disputes, ranging from trivial daily matters to major international conflicts. Of course, in real life, conflicts are complex, and some cannot be resolved solely through set procedures. However, the various methods provided in this book undoubtedly offer fresh perspectives and serve as an excellent auxiliary tool for solving practical problems. Another feature of the book is its rich and diverse case studies, which are well-supported by references. The cases cover a wide range of topics, including divorce, inheritance, corporate mergers, Middle Eastern issues, and more. They include biblical stories, historical events, modern social issues, philosophical and political problems, as well as economic issues, demonstrating strong academic rigor and practical guidance. This book is a collaboration between Steven J. Brams, a historian of political science, and Alan D. Taylor, a mathematician. In addition to this book, they co-authored "Fair Division: From Cakes to Disputes."
