Gender, Power and Organization is an intellectually stimulating read. At the same time, it is an emotional journey into the lives of the women portrayed in the text, and unavoidably, into one's own life. Whether the reader is male or female, there is a pathway to the personal and professional self. I would recommend this book to fellow academics, graduate students in business and the social/behavioral sciences, and organizational consultants. Nicolson provides a provocative treatise which will serve as the catalyst for discussion, debate and the revelation of new stories. - Mary C. Meisenhelter, Journal of Organizational Change Management ... a useful resource to recommend to clients, both female and male who are experiencing challenges around gender and power in the organisations in which they work. Although written in an academic style it is a very readable slim volume. - Linda Watkinson, Therapy Today In summation, I am glad I read this book. I found many, many fascinating anecdotes and explanations of real, common psychological experiences woven throughout. - Eleni Lobene, Senior Associate Consultant, Aon Hewitt,Washington, DC Those interested in the nature of flow at work would find this book to be a great place to start their inquiry. The small size of the book (approximately 206 pages) fairly reflects the state of our current understanding of flow in the work context...As an academic, I value the way this book is structured, and I would not hesitate to use it in a graduate-level special topics course on flow at work. Each of the 10 chapters could easily anchor the majority of topics I would cover in a semester. - S. B.
