Wrong offers a richly informative synopsis, not only of a substantial part of what we know about politics, but also of pretty much all that we know to date about power. --David Braybrooke, Canadian Journal of Political Science Wrong has given us a thoughtful, liberal and provocative analysis of many key features of an utterly vital phenomenon. --Frederick W. Frey, American Political Science Review Those who need conceptual clarification of power should consult Wrong. --Michael Mann, American Journal of Sociology Power is a full-length, closely-packed volume, which is likely to remain for quite a few years the standard sociological treatment of its subject. --Gianfranco Poggi, Contemporary Sociology

The new preface to the book is extensive and interesting. --Paul Brooker, Political Science Since its original publication in 1979 [Power] has offered what is perhaps the most clear and comprehensive discussion of power available in a single volume. --Barry Barnes, Canadian Journal of Sociology Power: Its Forms, Bases and Uses is thoroughly refreshing. Wrong is not interested in summarizing the vast literature on power, assessing our current state of knowledge about power, or pursuing a specific empirical problem. Instead, he tackles some of the 'big questions.' His analysis is sophisticated and penetrating, relying on critical argument and illustrations drawn from history and literature. --David F.
