I'm really curious to know what book Howard Zehr was referring to at the very end of the podcast about the history of mediation. Anyone have ideas?

So I am spending the COVID-19 time in the middle of the woods, on our cottage, in the Czech Republic. I am siting in the garden , listening to your podcast with Howard and suddenly all the summer time of 2008, SPI, discovers in front of my eyes…. all the friendly atmosphere, people from all around the world (with whom I am in touch till today!!!!), so much warmth and welcoming…. siting with Howard and others in our morning circles, taking the morning walks with JP around the campus, watching the spider's nets and composing haiku….I did not know it in that time, but it was life transforming experience that made clear my professional career and my personal dedication to search for the new ways and understanding of justice.
I always felt that the summer of 2008 the life gave me one of its most precious gift, a gift that is not possible to touch, that stays all inside me – some sort of deep experience how justice can be healing process. Since that time I follow this vision. It guides my steps. I do my best to bring the RJ vision into my country, the Czech Republic. And you know what? The talking piece we made as part of our course and which I received from Peter, another participant, I use on every day basis. So many hands since 2008 touched it in my home country – students, lawyers, judges, state prosecutors, academics, probation officers, mediators, prison officers, social workers…. and many others. Every time I use it, there is a short moment of reflection of the SPI experience. And I just feel grateful. Thanks so much for this interview.

I am so grateful to hear this presentation after many years of following Howard Zehr's work and interests. As always, he is profound, clear, practical, visionary and able to help the rest of us understand the importance of restorative goals in all our collective relationships. I appreciate the whole concept of changing lenses. You are a gift.

Brilliant, as always. Fascinating to catch a glimpse of Howard's journey and to read his take on the history of RJ and mediation. THANK YOU to both of you for this outstanding post!
