Common Ground on Hostile Turf: Stories from an Environmental Mediator
Lucy Moore
Drawing on twenty-five years of powerful experience as a professional mediator, Lucy Moore offers stories and case studies about actual conflicts between individuals, communities, and government entities over environmental or public policy issues. Moore’s purpose is to illuminate the dynamics of people in conflict. Her central theme is that the key to successful solutions of disputes is not piles of data or even legal merits, but rather the intersection of personality and policy, the effects of cultural divides and historical trauma.
