Dating
Dating might seem a trivial and relatively inconsequential part of love, but it is in fact key to getting into the kind of relationship that can last and help us flourish. The process we call dating sits on top of some of the largest themes of love: how to know whether or not someone is right for us; how soon to settle and how long to search; how to be at once honest and seductive; how to politely extricate oneself without causing offence. This little book is an indispensable guide to the dating process. It teaches us about the history of dating (and why the way we are dating now is so novel and so perplexing), the reason why our dating days can be so anxious, how we should discuss our past on a date, what questions we might ask a new partner, how to optimize our attempts at dating—and how to digest and overcome so-called «bad» dates. The book is at once heartfelt and perceptive and never minimizes the agony, joys, and confusions of our dating days and nights. It provides us with the ideal wise road map to the varied, sometimes delightful, sometimes daunting realities of dating. "It is so natural to want our dating days to come to an end: but we should never lose sight of the genuine merits and delights that lie closely entwined with their pains. We should continue to seek our life partner, while not ignoring the real pleasures that emerge from not yet having found them."

Sobre delitos y penas: comentarios penales y criminológicos
Este libro se compone de introducciones, epílogos y comentarios escritos por el autor sobre otros libros para invitar a la lectura de estos.
"No estoy seguro que el título de este libro enmarque su contenido y alcance. Debo, entonces, explicar brevemente ello en esto que más que un comentario crítico será una introducción e invitación a la lectura. Me encuentro en la difícil situación de hablar de un libro que, básicamente, se compone de textos que hablan de otros libros. Y en esta introducción, a la vez, debo comentar a este libro e inevitablemente hablar de aquellos otros que en sus comentarios lo componen. El dilema, o recurso, ya ha sido abordado anteriormente y en formas mucho más bellas, certeras y valiosas. Por mencionar una, ineludible, he de hacerlo con lo que constituye la construcción de un género que se hace en Jorge Luis Borges y en su Prólogos con un prólogo de prólogos, de 1975. Borges es, ahí, no solo un autor de prólogos y comentarios (y un comentarista o «prologador», incluso de su conjunto), sino también un teórico de ese género, que él hizo llegar a su punto más alto." Un comentario (introductorio) a los comentarios penales y criminológicos. Gabriel Ignacio Anitua
Facebook has fundamentally changed how the world connects. No other company has played a greater role in the history of social networking online. Yet Facebook is no longer simply a social networking site or social media platform. Facebook is Facebook. Taina Bucher shows how Facebook has become an idea of its own: something that cannot be fully described using broader categories. Facebook has become so commonplace that most people have a conception of what it is, yet it increasingly defies categorization. If we want to understand Facebook's power in contemporary society and culture, Bucher argues, we need to start by challenging our widespread conception of what Facebook is. Tracing the development and evolution of Facebook as a social networking site, platform, infrastructure and advertising company, she invites readers to consider Facebook anew. Contrary to the belief that nobody uses Facebook anymore, Facebook has never been more powerful. This timely book is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as anyone seeking to understand the Facebook phenomenon.
Det skjulte klassesamfund
Pa hvilken made kan man tale om et klassesamfund i Danmark i dag? Og betyder klasse overhovedet noget i det nuvAerende samfund? Hovedpointen i bogen Det skjulte klassesamfund er, at skarpe sociale skel fortsat eksisterer – de er blot mindre abenlyse end tidligere. Inspireret af Pierre Bourdieus ideer om social differentiering og med byen Alborg som empirisk holdepunkt undersoger forfatterne, hvordan klassesamfundet og klasseidentitet har betydning i danskernes hverdag – og hvordan den enkelte iscenesAetter og kommunikerer sit klassemAessige tilhorsforhold via symbolske grAensedragninger og gennem de mange valg, der samlet set definerer ens livsstil, forbrug, smag, kulturelle prAeferencer samt moralske og politiske holdninger. Samtidig illustreres det, hvordan klasse ogsa viser sig som en erfaring, vi hver isAer bAerer i kroppen. Bogen vil vAere af interesse for alle, der beskAeftiger sig med eller interesserer sig for klasser og social ulighed.
