a classical but fashionable part of sociological studies, namely the sociology of emotions. As the third in a series dealing with this challenging topic, the book is a valid proof for Moshe’s interest in how emotions develop and influence various aspects of people’s lives. In an era which “enables us to perceive different time dimensions simultaneously” (p. vii), the author aims at addressing the role of time in shaping both people’s ideas about romantic relationships and the relationships themselves. In this context, time is regarded as a major moderator influencing people’s subjective perceptions about the efficiency of their emotional investment (i.e., if a romantic relationship proves to be either a “temporal loss” or a “temporal profit”). Thus, in the attempt to unveil and better understand the psychological nature of romantic relationships, the author builds on the idea that human experiences are strongly linked to the notion of psychological time, which is responsible for the divide into past, present and future time frames. These three layers of time perspective or temporal orientation breed different types of romantic relationships; understanding temporality with reference to romantic relationships might contribute to more realistic representations about love and romance. The volume includes five chapters, structured in the form of five separate, yet interconnected sections. The first chapter, Temporal Orientation and Romantic Relationships, offers insights about people’s attitudes towards time. Specifically, the role of this chapter is to set the background for the following ones, dealing with how temporal orientations (i.e., present, past or future) shape the magnitude and direction of romantic relationships. The second chapter, Romantic Relationships and Love in the “Here-and-Now”, mainly refers to the present temporal orientation, which is often described as hedonism. People experiencing this type of romantic relationship are those seeking to “maximize pleasure for their own benefit” (p. 17). However, due to high technological advance and the evolution of virtual romantic relationships, the “here-and-now” characteristic of romance is seriously questionable since it might determine unrealistic and inconvenient relationships. The third chapter, Romantic Relationships and Love in the “There-and-Then”, offers a comprehensive understanding of how references to both past and present have an impact on how people perceive their romantic relationships. Unlike the “here-and-now” perspective, the “there-and-then” one is more realRomanian Journal of Communication and Public Relations vol. 19, no 2 (41) / July 2017, 43-44 ISSN: 1454-8100/ E-ISSN: 2344-5440
