Best arbitration & mediation books according to redditors

I used to live by the [Insert Law Subject Here] in a Nutshell series, e.g. Contracts in a Nutshell

They cover dozens of topics, and are always in small paperback form, which is a nice change of pace when one gets sick of carrying 5kg hardbacks to class.

I always thought the series did a nice job of introducing topics in a generalized way and then slowly narrowing the discussion until the details had a solid context.

I'm sorry this issue of including Sun Tzu's name in the title bothers you so much.

However, I don't think it would have been proper of me to have adapted the meaning of someone else's work and use my name as the sole contributor. Don't you agree?

Maybe you feel as impassioned about Mark McNeilly using Sun Tzu's name for his own adaptation. Or Colin Thorne. Or Gerald Michalsen. Or Bevin Alexander. Or Dean Lundell. Or Becky Sheetz-Runkle. Or Michael Cheung. Or the literally hundreds of other adaptations of Sun Tzu's work. The style of non-attribution you are suggesting is actually a form of plagiarism.

The point is that I did this for fun, for free, and I explicitly admit that it's merely an amateurish adaptation.

That sounds like something that would be in the "... for dummies" series if it weren't a legal topic. I think the Nutshell series is the legal equivalent, but it doesn't quite sound like what you want. Between Black's dictionary and this book though, she might be able to figure out what she needs:

And if you aren't familiar with the "... for dummies" series, it's not an insult. They have a series of books that attempt to break concepts/topics down into easy to understand terms. Some are really good books on a topic.
