Well well I was away from Jatland for long time now, one major reason for that was the news I am sharing below, besides some other projects also keeping me too occupied.

A Book on the theme of 'Violence and Conflict Resolution' has been edited by me and it is being published now. It's a refrence book, not some fiction(which also I wish to write some day). The info about the book with the cover page is given below.

About the Book --

Violence in all its shades and nuances has always been a distressing issue in any civil society. Present times are witnessing the turbulence and tribulations of increasing tensions as never before and are adding up to the concerns of agony and grief, making the issue of violence deserve focused attention. Needless to mention that any kind of violence emanates and erupts from mind; hence, to address the problem, an approach employing tools of Psychology should be the most appropriate. The present volume is an endeavour in the same direction, with the collective wisdom of experts in the field, making a common cause in seeking to highlight the role of Psychology, as a useful tool in combating the issues of violence and terror, arising from and also resulting in the destructive conflicts, and in establishing and maintaining peace, by resolving such conflicts.

The present volume is a compilation of well researched papers, conceived and presented by various experts, on the issue of conflict resolution and peacebuilding, in a scenario when violence is either resorted to, or is the outcome itself. The twin purpose of theorising and suggesting practical hints is achieved optimally in the book which covers a wide range of matters ranging from personal to impersonal; and local to universal. The book contains thirty two articles and has been divided into five parts. The issues relating to ‘Conceptual Foundations’ brings out the dynamics of violence, conflict and peace besides upcoming challenges. ‘Facets of Violence’ dwells on various stages of hostilities in the society. An attempt to trace a variety of determinants and correlates of conflicting, aggressive and violent behaviour has been made in ‘Genesis of Violence’. Articles related to ‘Mass Media’ have also been incorporated to have an overview of violence as seen, reported and handled by the media. Seven theoretical articles suggesting ideas, strategies and models for ‘Prevention of Violence’ have been incorporated in the fifth section of the book. The article under the ‘Future Perspective’ describes diverse influences that can lead to violence as also suggests ways and means to halt and prevent violence by fostering cultural changes that promote harmony and peace.

The book is a useful guide to scholars, researchers and common readers alike.

Heartfelt Congratulations Neelam Ji for the newly published book. The subject seems interesting and I think I have enough curiosity/interest to read the book so my question is same like Sunita Hooda Ji, "Where can I get this book?"

Dr. Neelam, if I may ask, what does your research say is/are the basic cause/s of conflict on an _individual level_? Thanks in advance for your input.

Dr. Rathee
First of all congratulations on job well done. What I could deduce from your post is relevant, timely and spot on. I am just wondering if you touched the subject of 'Violence against Women'. The ugly face of misplaced and insecure machoism is violence against women.

Thank you every one for the best wishes.

@ Urmila - well thats a detailed subject to explore, can't be explained here. In general, frustrations lead to conflicts.

@ Mr. Karan - Yea the issue of violence against women is also being touched. There are two articles related to different form of violence against women in the book. You can see the details from the link given below.

@ Poonam - thnx dear... yea we plan to bring online version, the issue is international, and there are four international contributors also in this volume.

Please see the link of book detail below for further details -
