Description
Summary:	Myth, Magic, and Power in Tolkien's Middle-earth: Developing a Model for Understanding Power and Leadership develops a model of analysis to understand the social power dynamics that occur in human interactions. Siburt uses the creation story in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion as a field of observation for understanding his model of analysis. This book shows how the application of the Social Power Dynamic Model to cultural texts makes it possible to identify, classify and clarify unique insights about the social power dynamics at work in human societies.
