Edited by Andrea Kupfer Schneider and Christopher Honeyman and featuring 80 contributors, The Negotiator’s Fieldbook is the most comprehensive book on negotiation available. And the concept that “everybody negotiates” is increasingly accepted as wisdom. A world in which small manufacturers find their customers and their suppliers on the far side of the globe, in which lifetime stability of employment has been replaced by successive negotiation for new jobs, and in which prenuptial agreements and mediated divorces flank a noticeable percentages of marriages, makes the fact of continuous negotiation more and more obvious.
This book pulls together the relevant ideas on negotiation from law, psychology, business, economics, cultural studies and a dozen other fields to provide a context for successful negotiation.
What Others Are Saying:
“This is an ambitious and impressive book…it strives to do nothing less than define and integrate the essential elements of negotiation (and) is a significant advance in that direction.”

“I picked up the Fieldbook at 12:25 AM, intending to skim the table of contents before heading for bed. Yet, here I sit at 4:47 AM…hooked, completely hooked. This provocative, thoroughly engrossing cornucopia of negotiation theories, practical experiences, empirical findings, and insightful observations comes from the only place that it could–a diverse village of accomplished experts wise enough to read each others’ work.”
