This two-volume exploration of what might be termed "interpersonal
war and peace" reveals why individuals and groups coalesce or
collide, and how more positive relationships can be achieved. In
this two-volume set, the most comprehensive treatment of its
subject to date, eminent social scientists explore the processes
involved in becoming friends-or enemies. Volume 1, Interpersonal
and Intrapersonal Insights, focuses on friendship and enmity
between individuals, examining situations that arise in romances,
at school, at work, and between races, genders, and sexual
identities. The text is enriched by a discussion of individual
interactions in classic books and movies, what those stories
reflect, and what they teach about human nature. Volume 2, Group
and Intergroup Understanding, focuses on group dynamics across time
and around the globe. Topics range from group interactions before
and after the American Civil War to friendship and enmity between
Afghans and Americans today. The work's ultimate concern, however,
is to present ways in which individuals, groups, and nations can
learn to be friends. Covers friendship and enmity between
individuals and groups as it applies to adults, as well as to
children Takes the unique approach of studying friendship in
relation to enmity, showing them as fluid relationships that can be
altered Addresses potentially contentious issues such as
ethnicity/racism, sexism, and heterosexism, as well as current and
historical conflicts involving Afghanis and Americans, Pakistanis
and Indians, and the Irish and English Uses case studies of how
groups become enemies to instruct readers on ways to better manage
conflict and achieve peace
