Review

Faculty of Business, University of Technology Sydney — Bryan S. Turner Published On: 2009-03-13
“Remarkable for its findings and its implications, this book looks at the centrality of power (which can be characterized as ′power over′, ′power to,′ ′power with′) to life and at how people use or surrender to power.” — L. Braude Published On: 2010-02-16
“I recommend it most strongly and think that it will be very useful indeed. A great addition to the literature.”
