Everyone's a winner

Steven Brams and Alan Taylor have worked out an ingenious formula that
wrangling parties can use to reach an agreement. In The Win-Win
Solution they explain how they reached it. They say the formula can be
applied to divorce settlements, business manoeuvres and even to international
disputes. Don’t hold your breath for an outbreak of peace, though. Published by
