Review
"Anyone who works with people–and that means all of us–should read this book. For educators, Reaching for Higher Ground offers crucial lessons to support consensus, community building, and lasting change within classrooms, in school decision–making bodies, and in the policy making by state and local school boards. This book could move us beyond the dance of the dichotomies that so often sidetracks meaningful reforms to a higher ground that focuses on the needs of children and the right to learn." (Linda Darling Hammond, author of The Right to Learn)
"Have you worked with a group that just wasn′t working? Where unspoken rules kept the group from making progress? This book helps break through old uncomfortable ways of relating in organizations and groups, committees and families." (Sally Herndon Malek, North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services)
"Thoughtful reflections and practical tools dot the landscape of this well–organized, wise, and refreshing book. . . . for anyone who plans, conducts or participates in any kind of meeting where time is precious and the outcomes matter to those involved." (Laura Chasin, director, Public Conversations Project, Watertown, Massachusetts)
"This is a valuable resource for people of faith who honor one another across differences and who want to live together faithfully, deeply, and lovingly. The authors beckon us beyond `common ground′ to `higher ground′." (Bishop Marion Edwards, North Carolina Conference, United Methodist Church)
"Reaching for Higher Ground educates and inspires...an invitation to be at our best in group discussions–to affirm the dignity of each participant, to respect diversity, and to encourage healthy and vigorous discussions. The authors provide a toolbox well stocked with practical methods for engaging in constructive, principled meetings. For the non–professional and professional alike, this book provides a wealth of relevant and highly valuable ideas about seeking excellence in ourselves and in our discussions." (Michael Lang – editor, Mediation Quarterly)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to GreatBookPricesUK, Castle Donington, Derby, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
