Kniha, jež vznikla v rámci projektu „Dějiny a současnost české sociologie“, zkoumá vliv sociologie na jiné vědní obory (případně vliv oboustranný), a to specificky v Českých zemích, resp. Československu a České republice. Zabývá se doposud nepříliš prozkoumanou problematikou vlivu sociologie (a to primárně sociologie české) na vybrané vědní obory v českém prostředí, její intervence a vstupování do nich: konkrétně do uměnovědných oborů, etologie a archeologie.

Kniha se zaměřuje na současná uspořádání partnerství a rodiny a vysvětluje jejich proměny a různorodost. Zároveň se věnuje analýze toho, jak lidé kombinují pracovní a soukromý život, jak se způsoby tohoto kombinování mění v čase a jaká nerovně rozložená rizika z toho vyplývají. Tyto proměny nahlížejí autorky perspektivou výzkumu životních drah.

The central empirical puzzle addressed in this book is why are Czech citizens’ attitudes towards key facets of democracy so similar under socialist democracy in 1968 and liberal democracy in 2008? Examining unique survey datasets from the late 1960s and 2008 this book reveals that Czech and Slovak citizens’ political attitudes can justifiably be characterised in terms of stability.
