ReviewsThis is a book filled with tips and tools to help non-native speakers understand more deeply and correctly the masterpieces of negotiation studies and apply them to real-life negotiations., This is a book for English-language learners that doesn't feel like an ESL book. Roberts has adroitly factored in the needs of English language learners and made accessible to international students a book that a generation of lawyers (including myself) were trained on in negotiation classes in US law schools and elsewhere. Roberts seamlessly provides additional cultural and language information in connection with phrases and cultural references, so that readers always feel included in the topic rather than an outsider looking in. A fantastic resource for anyone interested in negotiation who is not a fluent English speaker, and a fantastic model for companion books for other subjects.
