"In the current explosion of books on bullying, there isnot another book that provides such a broad and careful review ofoptions for educators...this book greatly expands the set oftools from which a teacher or other educator can draw. I cannotpraise this book highly enough."--Sheri Bauman, Ph.D.Director, School Counseling Program, University of Arizona
