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’ may be self-induced or from pressure applied by others and societal expectations. Hence, power is multifaceted, but also of a binary yes or no within its potentiality and actuality. It is the versatile nature of power within the space of its binary disposition that the book interweaves with. When ’interweaving,’ eleven ’faces’ have been selected to offer what power is and does. Eight are prominent social thinkers or ’simply’ thinkers who consider what life is, as it may be incorrect just to restrict or label them to the social aspect of living, as being of and in existence is more than that. Another is the physical evolving environment through which all living beings enjoy movement. One other participates with power through religious filters of production, and the remaining one is an artistic appreciation of how to power. My face of power filters these faces.
