It sounded so fascinating, but sadly what I EXPECTED from it turned out to only be a small part of the book as a whole. When Ehrlich is talking about the science of lightning, about the mechanics of a lightning strike, about its effects on the human body, about the medicine behind recovery from such a devastating electrical surge - all this is SO interesting. Unfortunately a large proportion of the book is instead devoted to restless, self-indulgent, self-absorbed, faux-spiritual wallowing, and in these moments the author often plunges into prose so purple it actually made me laugh a few times. It was like reading bad teenage poetry. Suffice it to say, I wouldn't recommend this one. 2.5 stars, purely for the on-topic interesting bits. Haven't read it yet, but have read an excerpt somewhere. She describes, from first-hand experience, what it's like to be hit by lightning, then the necessity of having to, essentially, "go it alone" because it's a very rare doctor who knows anything at all about electrocution injuries. Looked fascinating. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In 'Frameworks of Power', Clegg provides a comprehensive account of the different approaches to understanding power and, in the process, presents a fresh synthesis. This overview opens with the classic literature on power as expressed by Machiavelli and Hobbes. Clegg then addresses more recent analyses. Included are the works of American political and social theorists, such as Robert Dahl, Peter Bacharach, Morton Baratz, and Talcott Parsons; the British sociologists, Steven Luke, Anthony Giddens and Michael Mann; the German critical theorist, Ju?rgen Habermas; and the increasingly important contributions of the French school, Michel Foucault, Bruno Latour and Michel Callon.

The part I found interesting is how she describes that we live in bodies that we don't actually know that much about. I had never really thought about how bit of a part electricity plays in our anatomy. ( )
