Over the past three decades, our daily lives have changed slowly but dramatically. Boundaries between leisure and work, public space and private space, and home and office have blurred and become permeable. How many of us now work from home, our wireless economy allowing and encouraging us to work 24/7? How many of us talk to our children while scrolling through e-mails on our BlackBerrys? How many of us feel overextended, as we are challenged to play multiple roles - worker, boss, parent, spouse, friend, and client - all in the same instant?

Dalton Conley, social scientist and writer, provides us with an X-ray view of our new social reality. In Elsewhere, U.S.A., Conley connects our daily experience with occasionally overlooked sociological changes: women's increasing participation in the labor force; rising economic inequality generating anxiety among successful professionals; the individualism of the modern era - the belief in self-actualization and expression - being replaced by the need to play different roles in the various realms of one's existence. In this groundbreaking book, Conley offers an essential understanding of how the technological, social, and economic changes that have reshaped our world are also reshaping our individual lives.

"Med denne bog har vi ikke ønsket at tage stilling til, om det er bedst at leve i et parforhold eller leve alene. Men flere og flere lever faktisk alene. Nogle synes, det er meget svært, og nogle synes, at det åbner nye døre. Men under alle omstændigheder er det en ny livsform - ny både i samfundsmæssig henseende og for det enkelte menneske." Psykologerne Lone Spanheimer og Niels Bjerre Andersen har hjulpet mange mennesker med at tackle de udfordringer, der kan være ved at leve alene. For nogle er aleneheden selvvalgt, mens den for andre er et ufrivilligt vilkår.

Hat deine Ur-Ur-Uroma eigentlich schon an Sex gedacht? Klar, denn sonst wärst du heute wahrscheinlich nicht hier! Sicher hat sie anders geflirtet als die heutige Jugend. Aber die Menschen waren früher längst nicht so prüde, wie wir manchmal denken. Liebe, Sex und nackte Körper gab es schon immer. Aber wie darüber gesprochen, gemalt und geurteilt wurde, das verändert sich im Lauf der Geschichte immer wieder. Die Ethnologin Elin Hägg nimmt uns mit auf eine erstaunliche Reise durch die (abendländische) Geschichte der Ideen, Religionen und Machtverhältnisse – immer in Bezug auf deren Auswirkungen auf das Sexleben.

Die Autorin Ellen Key (1849-1926) war eine schwedische Reformpädagogin und Schriftstellerin. Sie entwickelte einen ausgeprägten Freiheits- und Gerechtigkeitssinn. Im Jahr 1869 erschienen erste Artikel von ihr in einer damals sehr renommierten Frauenzeitschrift, obwohl Ellen Key erst 20 Jahre alt war. Ab 1875 unterwies sie an einer Art Volkshochschule junge Damen in Geschichte und Literatur. Ihr Engagement für Frauen- und Kinderrechte verstärkte sich. Sie sprach häufig vor Arbeiter- und Frauenvereinen. Sie wurde 1885 Vizepräsidentin einer Stiftung für intellektuell und künstlerisch arbeitende Frauen.

La maternidad suele glorificarse y asociarse a emociones positivas: la felicidad de anunciar el embarazo, las lágrimas al cargar por primera vez al bebé, el orgullo de ver crecer a los hijos. En consecuencia, el arrepentimiento de ser madre parece un tema prohibido, porque una podría arrepentirse de no haber tenido hijos o de haber perdido uno; pero no de haberlos tenido. Stéphanie Thomas reflexiona sobre esa zona oscura y llena de preguntas dela maternidad a partir de los testimonios de diez mujeres en diferentes contextos y situaciones sociales.

Le discriminazioni e la violenza contro le donne e le persone omosessuali e transessuali sono oggi, almeno a parole, unanimemente condannate in Italia. Una frattura profonda divide invece il Paese quando si discute dei mezzi per combattere questi mali. Al centro del durissimo dibattito c'è la cosiddetta "teoria del gender". Da un lato, i sostenitori sentono tutta l'ingiustizia di una società in cui una persona può ancora essere considerata inferiore a causa del proprio diverso orientamento sessuale, del proprio sesso, della propria identità di genere.

What is the ultimate force that holds a marriage together? Love? Sex? Children? Regular tropical vacations? The answer is both very simple and very complex: communication. Communication may sound like a very dry word. After all, it’s just the transfer of information from one person to another. However, communication is the foundation of everything that makes a marriage happy, including love, good sex, and good parenting. Good communication creates an environment of safety, love, and respect.
