The Anatomy of Peace: Resolving the Heart of Conflict
Like Arbingers international bestseller Leadership and Self-Deception, The Anatomy of Peace helps us see how we actually cause the problems we think are caused by other people. Were trapped by preconceived ideas and self-justifying reactions that keep us from seeing the world clearly and dealing with it effectively. As a result, our efforts to make things better all too often make them worse. Through an intriguing story of parents who are struggling with their children and with problems that have come to consume their lives, we learn from once-bitter enemies the way to find peace whenever war is upon us. Yusuf al-Falah, an Arab, and Avi Rozen, a Jew, each lost his father at the hands of the others ethnic cousins. The Anatomy of Peace is the story of how they came together, how they help warring parents and children to come together, and how we too can find our way out of the struggles that weigh us down..

American Raj: Liberation or Domination?: Resolving the Conflict Between the West and the Muslim World
In 1993 Samuel P. Huntington turned conventional political wisdom on its head by arguing in a provocative essay that the secularized West and the fundamentalist Islamic world were destined to clash—a clash of civilizations. At about the same time, veteran journalist and foreign policy expert Eric S. Margolis was arguing virtually the same point—but from a unique vantage point: inside and on the ground in the Muslim world itself. American Raj: Liberation or Domination? is the culmination of all those years of feet-on-the-ground reporting and analysis—many of them spent actually fighting alongside mujahedeen—as well as a lifetime of insight into the complex reality of the way the Muslim world really operates. It is a masterful synthesis of experience and insight that answers the most pressing questions we in the West confront: Why does the Muslim world distrust us? Is the idea of a secular Muslim world—especially one based on the western model—realistic? Has ideology blinded Western powers to both political and historical reality? Is accommodation between these two ideological adversaries possible? What can be done to prevent a clash of civilizations? American Raj: Liberation or Domination? takes the reader behind the conventional headlines and into the thinking and world view of anti-Western Islamic radicals throughout the Muslim world, and identifies the historical, political and religious factors that have played such a huge role in generating Islamic hostility towards the West. Employing the model of Britain’s imperialist hegemony in Asia, which culminated in the eighteenth-century Raj, Margolis explores in fascinating detail whether the West—and in particular the United States—risks a repetition of the Raj experience or whether we face an entirely new—and entirely unfamiliar—world order..

How Good People Make Tough Choices: Resolving the Dilemmas of Ethical Living
Should you take a much-needed vacation or save money for your children’s education? Should you protect the endangered owl or maintain jobs forloggers? How do you handle questions such as these? We frequently face ethical dilemmas in our daily lives, and few have trouble with the “right vs. wrong” choices. However, the “right vs. right” dilemmas, in which neither choice is clearly or widely accepted as wrong, many times present obstacles that call for value-based decisions, and that’s where we often need help. Kidder -- the founder of the Institute for Global Ethics -- teaches us how to think for ourselves in order to resolve any ethical dilemma, from the personal to the philosophical. Unique in its approach and full of illustrative anecdotes, How Good People Make Tough Choices is an indispensable resource for arriving at sound conclusions when facing tough choices. .
