Having been in the corporate world himself, Dorochoff (M.A., historic preservation) is well aware that many in corporate America may not share the values of managers of cultural resources. To help preservation advocates in negotiations with businesses, the author draws on his thesis survey of North American practitioners on the factors contributing to negotiation success or failure. Striking a balance between theory and practice, he introduces phases of the process and strategies for specific negotiating contexts. E.g., emphasizing economic benefits is a prime way to co-opt other stakeholders' goals. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
