Move over idealised BFFs, glossy gal pals and indestructible work wives. Meet the bad friends. The dangerously romantic school girls of the 1900s. The office gossips of the 1930s.

Уникален не только каждый человек, но и каждое наше взаимодействие. Доктор философии Лайонел Стэйпли много лет посвятил изучению индивидуальных и групповых динамик—социально-психологических процессов, определяющих поведение человека и членов малых групп.

Wie wir lieben sollten - der feministische und antirassistische Klassiker erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. "Für viele ist Liebe nichts als ein statisches Wort - dabei könnten wir alle besser lieben, wenn wir es aktiv als Verb gebrauchen." In ihrem provokativen und zutiefst persönlichen Werk entwirft die bekannte Wissenschaftlerin, Kulturkritikerin und Feministin eine neue Ethik für unsere Gesellschaft der Lieblosigkeit - eine polarisierte Gesellschaft, so Bell Hooks, der es nicht etwa an Romantik mangelt, sondern an Fürsorge, Anteilnahme und Gemeinschaft.
