Who among us hasn't occasionally been in a
tense, uncomfortable negotiating session in the
ongoing architect-owner-contractor drama
triangle?
Perhaps you've had to ask your boss for a
raise. Or perhaps you've had to face a toughbargaining
client like one of the owners in
Tracy Kidder's House, who insisted that
without a last-minute $660 reduction in the
bid, there would be no deal.

with the hope, as the book's subtitle says, of
"turning conflict into agreement."
