Reviews

"Power is an impressive project for its breadth and insight. Belliotti offers an exhaustive discussion of the philosophical notion of power, which deepens the reader's understanding of power and provides a 'powerful' tool for assessing the proper uses of and abuses of social and dyadic power relations. The book is rich with material, expertly organized, and written in a clear and accessible style." — Kimberly Blessing, Buffalo State, The State University of New York
