Not Losing Face: Actuality and Potentiality of Power - Hardcover

$59.40

by Richard Head (Author)Comprehending what power is, may be, or imagined to be, through human considerations is vital, since the energy used to generate power is life's social and cultural fabric. Since power is understood in many ways, it shows that it is too complicated to just conveniently rationalize from a compartmental methodology. However, there is also a paradox here since power can be reduced to the simplicity of acting in a certain way or not acting in a certain way. This 'acting' m...
