• The Genealogical Science is a wonderful account of how old-fashioned race science has come to be re-defined by resort to the most recent developments in genetics. But this book is not simply another story of the ideological uses to which science may be put. Nadia Abu El-Haj has provided the reader with a very detailed analysis of the historical entanglement between science and politics. Her study should be required reading for anyone interested in the sociology of science-and also for those dealing with Middle Eastern nationalisms. This is a work of outstanding value for scholarship.

• Y Duelo complicado es un texto que anuncia desde el principio, en su cita de influencias, densa intertextualidad e hibridez, un fracaso de algunas protecciones aparentes o habituales, y una necesidad de reexaminar la "identidad" a la luz de un reconocimiento de nuestros enredos e interdependencia.

• Clásicamente, muy pocas personas han considerado que la limpieza está al lado de la piedad. Un taparrabos desaliñado y el pelo en avanzado estado de enmarañado enredo han sido generalmente las insignias del oficio de profetas cuyo mandato de despreciar las cosas terrenales empieza por el jabón.

• Combining quantum entanglement with wormholes yields mind boggling results about black holes. But I don't trust them until we have a theory of everything which can combine quantum effects with general relativity. i.e. we need to have a full blown string theory resolve this sticky question.

• La enseñanza, como cualquier actividad verdaderamente humana, surge de la propia interioridad, para bien o para mal. Cuando enseño, proyecto la condición de mi alma sobre mis alumnos, mi asignatura y nuestra forma de estar juntos. Los enredos que experimento en el aula a menudo no son ni más ni menos que las circunvoluciones de mi vida interior. Desde este punto de vista, la enseñanza es un espejo del alma. Si estoy dispuesto a mirarme en ese espejo y no huir de lo que veo, tengo la oportunidad de conocerme a mí mismo, y conocerme a mí mismo es tan crucial para enseñar bien como conocer a mis alumnos y mi asignatura.

• Los estudiosos han escrito sin cesar sobre el pensamiento protestante antebellum acerca de la esclavitud. Ahora, por fin, Friends of the Unrighteous Mammon se centra en una cuestión nueva y crucial: ¿cómo analizaban los protestantes de antebellum el capitalismo? Para cualquiera que quiera entender la economía política de la época antebellum -o, de hecho, la compleja relación entre cristianismo y capitalismo en la actualidad- este libro es fundamental. Por mi parte, estoy muy agradecido a Stewart Davenport por haberlo escrito.

• God hath work to do in this world; and to desert it because of its difficulties and entanglements, is to cast off His authority. It is not enough that we be just, that we be righteous, and walk with God in holiness; but we must also serve our generation, as David did before he fell asleep. God hath a work to do; and not to help Him is to oppose Him.

• It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.

• The political system of the United States is essentially extra-European. To stand in firm and cautious independence of all entanglement in the European system has been a cardinal point of their policy under every administration of their government from the peace of 1783 to this day...Every year's experience rivets it more deeply in the principles and opinions of the nation.
