There are also recipes for a range of dairy-free chocolates and a collection of chocolates that even the youngest children can help to make. With chapters on the history of chocolate as well as a comprehensive section covering ingredients and equipment and techniques such as melting, tempering, making molds and gift-wrapping your chocolates, this is the perfect book if you want to dazzle your friends and family with delicious chocolate gifts.

Anne Scott has never housed her books in order of theme or author yet she knows where each of them is and the kind of life it has led. Some have been gifts but most have been chosen in bookshops unique in their style and possibilities. They have been observers of discovery, decisions, and marvels with her, following the line of her time and place. Some are everyday shops with a shelf of books in a corner, some are beginning again after long lives as churches, printing presses, medieval houses, a petrol-station. There are a few the author is too late to see: early print-houses and booksellers here too in this book, searched for and described, side by side with all the bookshops open now and busy with readers. Not one is like another. In one way, the book is a sequence about writing. But first it is a map of books and a life.

Från 1800-talets salongskultur till 2000-talets bloggkultur, från 1600-talets ikonografiska jung­frukult till dekonstruerade subjektskategorier i nutida konst, från kvinnligt till queert rör sig dessa tjugoen essäer, som fångar genusforskningen i dess fulla bredd. Bland bidragen möter oss den manlige losern i samtida skönlitteratur, kvinnliga polarfarare, homomän på Amerika­båtarna och fotokonstnären Cindy Shermans clowner. Här studeras utanförskapet i 2000-talets svenska arbetarlitteratur, det gäckande könet hos Ninni Holmqvist och bilden av familjen i Bangs kåserier. Här granskas det omtvistade begreppet moderskap, biografiskrivandets problem och den heterosexuella hegemonin i skildringarna av bondesamhället. Dessutom väcks den könspolitiskt och -teoretiskt brännande frågan: är motstånd möjligt? Moderniteter: Text, bild, kön är en vänbok till Ingrid Holmquist, en av den nordiska kvinno- och genusforskningens verkliga pionjärer.
