Rezensionen

'...an essential and indispensable source in the study of close and intimate relationships, not only because of its authoritative critique of Giddens' and Beck and Beck-Gernsheim's renowned theories of modern intimacy, but also because it is an impressive attempt to re-theorise this field of study by considering the dimensions of intimacy and introducing different types of intimate relationships in modernity.' - Sociology
