Discriminations: Making Peace in the Culture Wars
It seems like we can’t talk about anything nowadays… Whether it’s war or something utterly inconsequential, the internet is primed for furore. And the results can be horrifying – from online pile-ons and doxing to job loss and, in some cases, death. But how did we end up here?
Nuanced and historically grounded, A. C. Grayling searches for middle ground in an otherwise incendiary debate. Looking at the history of cancellation, from Ancient Greek ‘ostracism’ through hemlock cups, witch trials and the House of Un-American Activities, Discriminations is a timely examination of the state of our public culture and the chilling effect it’s having on intellectual discourse.

Tech-Smart Parenting: How to keep your kids happy and safe online
Banning screens doesn’t work – this is how we really keep our kids safe.
As a child psychotherapist specialising in cybertrauma for over 14 years, I get asked the same questions from parents again and again. What age should I let my child have a smartphone? What games are safe? Can screen use damage my child’s growing brain? How can I protect my child from cyber bullying, seeing unsuitable content, addiction, grooming – or any number of other harms online? Parents are overwhelmed, scared and confused about how to manage the technology surrounding their children – and this is where this book comes in.
In this book, cybertrauma expert Catherine Knibbs explains in simple and reassuring language what the science really tells us about the dangers of technology and how it can affect young growing minds. Setting out clear strategies for helping kids develop a positive relationship with technology at any age, it will empower parents with the tools to set clear and confident boundaries whilst also nurturing a strong relationship with their child. It will give parents confidence in the skills they already have to parent in a world of tech whilst always being there for their child.
