Talking Prices
How do dealers price contemporary art in a world where objective criteria seem absent? Talking Prices is the first book to examine this question from a sociological perspective. On the basis of a wide range of qualitative and quantitative data, including interviews with art dealers in New York and Amsterdam, Olav Velthuis shows how contemporary art galleries juggle the contradictory logics of art and economics. In doing so, they rely on a highly ritualized business repertoire. For instance, a sharp distinction between a gallery's museumlike front space and its businesslike back space safeguards the separation of art from commerce.

Pathways Into Adulthood
The ethnic composition of the Dutch population has changed considerably in the past decades. Nowadays a substantial proportion of youth in the Netherlands has a migrant background. This study focuses on how these young adults make the transition to adulthood in the family domain. What preferences and behavior regarding family life transitions are predominant among migrant and Dutch youth? How and to what extent are these preferences and behavior among migrant and Dutch youth influenced by their parents? This study surveys different aspects of family life transitions: adolescents' preferred type of union, their gender roles preferences, the preferred timing of family life transitions, and patterns of co-residence in the parental home. In order to compare distinct mechanisms of intergenerational transmission among different migrant groups, this study includes the four largest migrant groups in the Netherlands: Surinamese, Antilleans, Moroccans, and Turks, as well as native Dutch.

Sterke verhalen
Omkopen, verleiden, liegen, stelen: anything to get the story. Journalist Ton van Dijk spiegelt zich graag aan het motto van zijn Amerikaanse collega Robert Scheer. En daarmee bereikte Van Dijk, die altijd één stap meer zet en alles uitzoekt tot achter de komma, de top van de Nederlandse reportage- en onderzoeksjournalistiek. Het resultaat zijn juwelen van verhalen die lezen als een trein. Dit boek bevat de beste, leukste, spannendste en meest dramatische reportages van zijn hand. Plus een onthullend en af en toe vermakelijk inzicht in zijn vaak onorthodoxe werkmethode. Het passeren van slagbomen, de voet tussen de deur, het kijkje in de bureaula en op het prikbord, en het hoe en waarom van een zwartlederen aktetas.
