Also, students with disabilities may contact the Student Disability Center at (530)752-3184 for an e-text version of "Gandhi's Way" suitable for use with adaptive computer software. Synopsis: Gandhi's Way is a primer of Mahatma Gandhi's principles of moral action and conflict resolution. In it one finds a straightforward, step-by-step approach that can be used in any conflict: at home, in business; and in local, national or international arenas. The book sets out Gandhi's basic methods and illustrates them with practical examples to show how parties can rise above self-interest to find resolutions that are beneficial and satisfying to all. Mark Juergensmeyer's book offers us an opportunity to engage in a rich dialogue on how to foster mutual respect for conflicting ideologies, values, and perspectives in our multicultural environment. In addition, we anticipate using this book to examine many of the divergent perspectives within our community to determine viable solutions to conflicting viewpoints.
