Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We tend to approach conflict from the perspective of competing interests. A farmer's interest lies in preserving water for crops, while an environmentalist's interest is in using that same water for instream habitats. It's hard to see how these interests intersect. But what if there was a different way to understand each party's needs Aaron T. Wolf has spent his career mediating such conflicts, both in the U.S. and around the world.
