Dette er en av de bøkene som KAN GJØRE EN FORSKJELL i et ungt menneskes liv.

Denne boken handler om nettopp makt, og bokens styrke er at den gir unge lesere en bred og god oversikt over vanskelige og svært aktuelle temaer. I tillegg til at den maner til selvrefleksjon og ettertanke. *** TEMATISK INNDELING: Makt i hjemmet, på skolen , i arbeidslivet , i politikken , mellom kjønn , i forhold til etnisitet , eller seksuell preferanse , makt & penger , makt & politikk , medbestemmelse eller munnkurv, personlighetstyper & berømmelse , underkastelse & revolusjon. *** «Jeg er ikke interessert i makt for maktens skyld, men jeg er interessert i makt som er moralsk, som er rettferdig og som er god.» -- Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968) *** Anmeldelser av BOKEN OM MAKT Over 100 LESERE har anmeldt BOKEN OM MAKT og over 80 % har gitt den 5 av 5 stjerner. Her er hva noen av leserne mener: Boken er godt skrevet og utfordrer våre forestillinger om MAKT. En FLOTT BOK for både voksne og barn. -- Gaby Dette er en av de fineste bøkene jeg har sett. Illustrasjonene er MER ENN VAKRE og teksten er veldig god. Forfatterne gjør en fantastisk jobb i å forklare fenomenet MAKT til et yngre publikum, og viser dem hvordan man kan forholde seg til MAKT. De er gode på å henvende seg direkte til de unge leserne og oppfordrer til egen refleksjon, det er de partiene jeg liker aller best! Jeg jobber med barn som har opplevd vold og overgrep og denne boken vil være til stor hjelp i arbeidet mitt. TAKK FOR DENNE BOKA! Denne teksten er supergodt organisert, lettfattelig, samtidig som den går i dybden. Vi hadde venner på besøk da vi tok fatt på boken, og den ble så godt likt at vennene våre fikk den med seg hjem. Så måtte vi skaffe oss et nytt eksemplar. Jeg vil faktisk anbefale denne boken til alle! FEM STJERNER HELE VEIEN FRA OSS. -- Sally
