Hi, As promised, here are my comments. I first would like to notice a small error in the following sentence: Further, these contending groups, defined by the the roles people occupy. The chapter deals with current situations we face day by d...

Hi Lonnie,    I will to add more examples, later, once the whole thing exists. I already have put a bt more, not much, in the intro and chapter one, I think. What might help is pointing to where it is hard to get without an example...

Okay, well beyond basic editing / readability suggestions above here are the few non-readability comments: * in the Mentality of Conflict section /sports team analogy i would add and another string of comparison to the list such as "How have...

Arash.... Thank you! But, in general, I think close editing particularly like this, is just beyond what I can deal with. Rather, please just indicate only specific critical changes - and mainly ones that change meaning - or suggestions for chang...
