Is Free Speech Under Threat? - Charlotte Lydia Riley, Suzanne Nossel
Two leading thinkers present alternative answers to one of the most difficult and divisive questions of our times: Is free speech under threat?Suzanne Nossel, CEO of PEN America, the leading free expression organisation, argues that alongside the necessary and long-overdue elevation of minority voices in recent years, there has also arisen an uncompromising intolerance â “ most notably on university campuses and online â “ that wrongly equates a wide range of offensive speech with violence and seeks to shut it down. This has led to an escalating free speech arms race, from which everyone loses.Charlotte Lydia Riley, historian of empire and editor of The Free Speech Wars, argues that accusations of cancel culture and defences of free speech are too often disingenuous attempts to fuel a culture war and so inhibit an important realignment in which hateful speech is at last being called out for what it is and the right to free expression is being extended to more people than ever before.Published in conjunction with Intelligence Squared, the worldâ ™s leading curator of debate, this book is part of the THINK AGAIN series: short books that present two expert, contrasting but equally persuasive views in a single volume that can be read from either end.

What Is Free Speech? - Fara Dabhoiwala
A fresh and exciting approach to one of the most controversial subjects of our time‘Free Speech!’ is a clarion call all over the world, yet what it means today is more contested than ever. Many cultures regard it as dangerous: in China, India, and across the Islamic world, unorthodox views about politics, sex, and religion are repressed and people are often punished for expressing them. Even in the western world, where it is held up as a core value, there is widespread discord and disagreement about what freedom of expression means.Amidst perennial imbalances of power, continually evolving cultural taboos, dramatic new technologies and a fast-changing global media landscape, where free speech comes from – and how we might think about it – are critical questions. Through the lens of history, What Is Free Speech? shows us that freedom of speech is not an absolute from which societies and regimes have drifted or dissented at different times, but something more complicated and interesting. Our modern conceptions of press and speech liberty, Dabhoiwala shows, were invented in Britain around 1700.The real history of freedom of expression is a story of countless fascinating men and women whose lives have shaped its principles and practices over the past 300 years – slaves and imperialists, poets and philosophers, plutocrats and revolutionaries. Ranging across Europe, North America and South Asia, and not neglecting other parts of the world, Dabhoiwala rejects celebratory platitudes about the past and present of free expression. Instead, his book explains how to think more deeply about free speech as a global as well as a local question — by tracing how we got into our current predicaments, showing that history complicates our contemporary presumptions, and suggesting fresh possibilities for the future.

Free Speech - Jacob Mchangama
A global history of free speech, from the ancient world to today.Hailed as the first freedom, free speech is the bedrock of democracy. But it is a challenging principle, subject to erosion in times of upheaval. Today, in democracies and authoritarian states around the world, it is on the retreat.In Free Speech, Jacob Mchangama traces the riveting legal, political, and cultural history of this idea. Through captivating stories of free speech s many defenders - from the ancient Athenian orator Demosthenes and the ninth-century freethinker al-Razi, to Mary Wollstonecraft, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and modern-day digital activists - Mchangama demonstrates how the free exchange of ideas underlies all intellectual achievement and has enabled the advancement of both freedom and equality worldwide. Yet the desire to restrict speech is also a constant, and he explores how even its champions can be led down this path when the rise of new and contrarian voices challenge power and privilege of all kinds.Meticulously researched, deeply humane and provocative, Free Speech challenges us all to recognise how much we have gained from this principle - and how much we stand to lose without it.

How Free Speech Saved Democracy - Christopher M. Finan, Randall Kennedy
How Free Speech Saved Democracy is a revealing reminder that First Amendment rights have often been curtailed in efforts to block progress, and that current measures to reduce hurtful language and to end hate speech could backfire on those who promote them. To those who see free speech as a threat to democracy, Finan offers engaging evidence from a long and sometimes challenging history of free speech in America to show how free speech has been essential to expanding democracy.

Free Speech - Nigel Warburton
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it This slogan, attributed to Voltaire, is frequently quoted by defenders of free speech. Yet it is rare to find anyone prepared to defend all expression in every circumstance, especially if the views expressed incite violence. So where do the limits lie? What is the real value of free speech? Here, Nigel Warburton offers a concise guide to important questions facing modern society about the value and limits of free speech: Where should a civilized society draw the line? Should we be free to offend other people s religion? Are there good grounds for censoring pornography? Has the Internet changed everything? This Very Short Introduction is a thought-provoking, accessible, and up-to-date examination of the liberal assumption that free speech is worth preserving at any cost. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Regulating Free Speech in a Digital Age - David Bromell
Hateful thoughts and words can lead to harmful actions like the March 2019 terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. In free, open and democratic societies, governments cannot justifiably regulate what citizens think, feel, believe or value, but do have a duty to protect citizens from harmful communication that incites discrimination, active hostility and violence.Written by a public policy advisor for fellow practitioners in politics and public life, this book discusses significant practical and moral challenges regarding internet governance and freedom of speech, particularly when responding to content that is legal but harmful. Policy makers and professionals working for governmental institutions need to strike a fair balance between protecting from harm and preserving the right to freedom of expression. And because merely passing laws does not solve complex social problems, governments need to invest, not just regulate. Governments, big tech and the private sector, civil society, individual citizens and the fourth estate all have roles to play, and counter-speech is everyone s responsibility.This book tackles hard questions about internet governance, hate speech, cancel culture and the loss of civility, and illustrates principled pragmatism applied to perplexing policy problems. Furthermore, it presents counter-speech strategies as alternatives and complements to censorship and criminalisation.

Free Speech And Why It Matters - Andrew Doyle
Impassioned, scholarly and succinct The TimesFREE SPEECH AND WHY IT MATTERSFree speech is the bedrock of all our liberties, and yet in recent years it has come to be mistrusted. A new form of social justice activism, which perceives language as potentially violent, has prompted a national debate on where the limitations of acceptable speech should be drawn. Governments throughout Europe have enacted hate speech legislation to curb the dissemination of objectionable ideas, Silicon Valley tech giants are collaborating to ensure that they control the limitations of public discourse, and campaigners in the US are calling for revisions to the First Amendment.However well-intentioned, these trends represent a threat to the freedoms that our ancestors fought and died to secure. In this incisive and fascinating book, Andrew Doyle addresses head-on the most common concerns of free speech sceptics, and offers a timely and robust defence of this most foundational of principles.

No Trade Is Free - Robert Lighthizer
America is the first country in history to fund the rise of its rivals. We need to stop now, before it’s too late. One of the most consequential U.S. Trade Representatives in our history, Robert Lighthizer led a great reset of American trade policy that has endured across Administrations. For more than 40 years, he litigated, negotiated, and editorialized against the failed policies of one-sided free trade as part of both the Reagan and Trump administrations and as a private lawyer. As Trade Representative, he fought against globalists, importers, lobbyists, foreign governments and big businesses whose interests diverged from those of the American workers.For decades, unbalanced “free” trade was the preferred option for the most powerful in Washington, and millions of ordinary Americans paid the price. Instead of prioritizing healthy American communities, good jobs, higher wages, and a promising future for our workers, Washington too often cared more about corporate profits, cheap imports and the concerns of foreign governments, including the Chinese. In return, we got cheaper coffee makers and tee shirts, while thousands of factories closed, wages stagnated, communities deteriorated, economic inequality rose in our country, and we racked up trillions of dollars in trade deficits.Part memoir, part history, and part policy analysis, No Trade is Free tells the story of how America found itself at this point and how the Trump administration took on the orthodoxy of the trade establishment, with astonishing results. With in-depth character sketches of some of the most important leaders of our time—from Donald Trump, to Xi Jinping, to Nancy Pelosi, to Andrés Manuel López Obrador—Lighthizer explains how trade negotiations actually work and why leverage is the key to success—no trade is free.This book is a wake-up call to our politicians, thought leaders, but most importantly, everyday Americans. It presents the case against the policies that have weakened America and left our families and communities behind. It argues for a worker-focused trade policy. It tells the story of our fight for every American job and how for the first time, a US administration took on China. But most importantly, it is a guide to the new world economy—one which will require a worker-focused trade policy.

The Lydia Steptoe Stories - Djuna Barnes
Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. â ˜I have quite changed my mind. I am going to run away and become a boy.â ™In these three stories, written by Djuna Barnes under the pseudonym Lydia Steptoe, three characters find themselves on the brink of a sexual awakening â “ accompanied by guns, whips, and worldly innuendo.A fourteen-year-old girl plans to become â ˜a viragoâ ™, until her mother intercepts her first tryst by dressing up as her male lover. A boy of the same age is lured into the forest by his fatherâ ™s mistress. A woman of forty falls in love and longs to kill herself, so unbearable is the return of the youth she thought she wanted. â ˜Aliceâ ™, she tells herself, â ˜be a man.â ™Barnes makes gender and desire seem slippery and joyful â “ and makes the fictional Lydia Steptoe seem like a writer for our time.Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.

Peckish - Suzanne Lenzer
A celebration of mindful snacking with more than 75 recipes well worth nibbling on, whether you’re eating for one or entertaining a group of friends—from the author of Graze. “Suzanne does ‘girl dinner’ one better with Peckish, a charming collection of not-quite-meals that perfectly satisfy the way we want to eat today.”—Giada De Laurentiis“My favorite food experiences are very often over the kitchen counter or standing midway between the sink and the stove, so caught up in the chat at hand that simmering pots are neglected and salad dressings are left half-made. What’s come to me at last is that many of the most compelling discussions and deepest fits of laughter happen in between the making and the meal itself. These moments are perfect because they have all the features one hopes for in the feast without the organization, orchestration, and, yes, exhaustion. So why not liberate ourselves and embrace the truth? So often it’s the snacks, the tastes in between, that make our hearts race.” Mindful snacking (and home cooking) is the philosophy that food stylist and author Suzanne Lenzer nurtures in her own life and shares here with us. Who doesn’t love standing in front of a full fridge wondering what to pull out for a covert snack? Eating is simply more fun when we have a few choices and are free to eat how we like, not simply how we’ve been conditioned.  But don’t fret, thoughtful snacking is not complicated nor does it require long days spent at the stove. And while it does require a modicum of planning, the benefits exponentially outweigh the effort. Thoughtful snacking is also about moving beyond boards and platters when we entertain, by adding dimension to the table, both in what we serve and how we serve it. Peckish is divided into charming chapters sorted by vessel—such as On Toast, In Jars, Skewers and Sticks, In Bowls, Napkins Only, and more—so that the home cook can plan their snacking night with ease.

Free and Equal - Daniel Chandler
What would you want that society to look like? This is the revolutionary thought experiment proposed by the twentieth century s greatest political philosopher, John Rawls. As economist and philosopher Daniel Chandler argues in this hugely ambitious and exhilarating intervention, it is by rediscovering Rawls that we can find a way out of the escalating crises that are devastating our world today. Taking Rawls s humane and egalitarian liberalism as his starting point, Chandler builds a careful and ultimately irresistible case for a progressive agenda that would fundamentally reshape our societies for the better. He shows how we can protect free speech and transcend the culture wars; get money out of politics; and create an economy where everyone has the chance to fulfil their potential, where prosperity is widely shared, and which operates within the limits of our finite planet. This is a book brimming with hope and possibility - a galvanising alternative to the cynicism that pervades our politics. Free and Equal has the potential not only to transform contemporary debate, but to offer a touchstone for a modern, egalitarian liberalism for many years to come, cementing Rawls s place in political discourse, and firmly establishing Chandler as a vital new voice for our time.

The World We Want Is Us - Public Menace
The World We Want is Us is the anthologized debut of Public Menace; bringing together the revolutionary imaginations of poets from across the globe to celebrate building fresh creative coalitions in the mobilization for future change. Organized into three sections, the Public Menace poets collected in this anthology span nationalities, poetic styles and revolutionary scopes. On offer is a kaleidoscopic journey into the intersecting struggles for our future, expressed through the voices of contemporary poets from America, Africa, Asia and Europe. The radical approach of Public Menace concerning the organization of creative communities sees stalwart voices published alongside fledgling artists, resulting in a roster as diverse in perspective as it is free-wheeling and wild with its variety of form and style. The anthology opens with poems that speak to the sense of wonder and speculative dreaming that precipitates mobilizing for activism. Take Root Among the Stars sings to God and dead heroes, contemplates writing as an act of resistance, and tackles feelings of despondency and dread that accompany wishes for change. Middle Fingers up marks the progression of radical thought from the abstract to the concrete: these poems shout loudly against injustice and subjugation. Transphobia, racism and colonialism, misogyny, climate catastrophe, technological interferences and capitalist oppression are among the main topics of resistance. After the crescendo of powerful refusal expressed throughout Middle Fingers Up, the collection draws to a close with And All Shall Be Well. This final section celebrates the regrowth and recuperation that necessarily accompanies movements for change. Poems here express a commitment to tenderness and the retention of beauty that fighting for our futures can steal.

Addressing combustible topics including the gender divide and the destruction of free speech, Morgan argues that wokeâ ™s empty discourse only created more division, confusion and mistrust, and makes the case for what our post-woke future can, and should, look like.Rather than celebrating the death of woke for the sake of revenge, Woke Is Dead advocates for a return of common sense and a less divided, more sensible society. Because itâ ™s what the majority of us want â “ and we should no longer be afraid to say it.

Under Another Sky - Higgins Charlotte
**NOW A HIT STAGE PRODUCTION**Take a journey around the archaeological and cultural remains of Roman Britain with the award-winning author of Greek Myths. This is a book about the encounter with Roman Britain: about what the idea of Roman Britain has meant to those who came after Britain s 400-year stint as province of Rome - from the medieval mythographer-historian Geoffrey of Monmouth to Edward Elgar and W.H. Auden. What does Roman Britain mean to us now? How were its physical remains rediscovered and made sense of? How has it been reimagined, in story and song and verse? Charlotte Higgins has traced these tales by setting out to discover the remains of Roman Britain for herself, sometimes on foot, sometimes in a splendid, though not particularly reliable, VW camper van. Via accounts of some of Britain s most intriguing, and often unjustly overlooked ancient monuments, Under Another Sky invites us to see the British landscape, and British history, in an entirely fresh way: as indelibly marked by how the Romans first imagined, and wrote, these strange and exotic islands, perched on the edge of the known world, into existence. Mesmerising... Sophisticated and passionate Guardian [A] lyrical, haunting look at Roman Britain and its echo in our culture Sunday Times

My Best Friend Is Gluten-Free - Jannell Lo
Anyone who eats (or cooks) a gluten-free diet understands the struggles of avoiding gluten.

Inspired by her celiac husband and wanting to share the foods of her Chinese-Canadian upbringing with him, Jannell Lo set out to create gluten-free options for all her favourite recipes, plus some creative takes of her own. Designing flavourful and inclusive dishes let Jannell explore her own cultural identity through food in new and meaningful ways.

Suzanne Simardová Hledání mateřského stromu Provedení: Tištěná kniha
Suzanne Simardová nás zavede do svého světa, do srdce lesa. Ukáže nám, že stromy nejsou pouze zdrojem dřeva či buničiny, ale že tvoří složitý a vzájemně provázaný koloběh života. Právě její převratné pátrání vedlo k objevu „lesního internetu“ (Wood Wide Web), který ve svých knihách popisuje také Peter Wohlleben. S objevitelskou vášní popisuje, jak se stromy rostoucí stovky let vedle sebe vyvíjejí, jak se učí a přizpůsobují okolnostem, poznávají své sousedy a rafinovaně spolu soupeří i spolupracují. V centru jejího výzkumu přitom stojí tzv. mateřské stromy – prastaré, mocné a tajemné velikány, které spojují a chrání ostatní stromy ve svém okolí. „Suzanne Simardová sdílí moudrost svého života, kdy naslouchala lesu... Její vědecké paměti jsou stejně napínavé jako seriály HBO.“ - THE OBSERVER „Ve své objevné prvotině o ,překvapivých tajemstvích‘ stromů Suzanne Simardová umně spojuje vědu s autobiografií... Toto průkopnické dílo čtenáře stejnou měrou poučí i dojme.“ - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY „Suzanne Simardová desítky let nořila ruce do hlíny, navrhovala výzkumné experimenty a postupně odhalovala pozoruhodná tajemství lesní ekologie... Elegantně a podrobně popsané, hluboce osobní... Její kniha svědčí o tom, že Suzanne Simardová umí psát o vědě. Svůj výzkum jasně definuje, přehledně popisuje kroky jednotlivých pokusů a svá ohromující zjištění nám předkládá na stříbrném podnose.“ - THE NEW YORK TIMES Autorka Bioložka Suzanne Simardová se narodila v Britské Kolumbii a vzdělání získala na Univerzitě Britské Kolumbie a Oregonské státní univerzitě. V současnosti vyučuje na Lesnické fakultě Univerzity Britské Kolumbie ekologii lesa a žije ve městě Nelson. Je považována za průkopnici v oblasti rostlinné komunikace a inteligence, její TED Talks zhlédlo více než deset milionů lidí po celém světě. „Začala jsem tedy podnikat výzkumné výpravy, abych zjistila, kde jsme se tak šeredně spletli, a abych rozlouskla záhadu, proč se krajina sama zahojí, když jí k tomu dáme prostor — jak jsem viděla v případě vlastních předků, kteří káceli lehčí rukou. Bylo zvláštní, téměř strašidelné, jak se má práce prolínala s mým osobním životem a splývala s ním tak důvěrně jako prvky ekosystému, které jsem zkoumala.“ Interpretka Známá je především díky dabingu, jemuž se od roku 1993 věnuje téměř výhradně. Začínala u kultovních filmů a seriálů a ikonické postavy mluví dodnes – svůj hlas propůjčila desítkám předních hollywoodských hvězd (např. Sandře Bullockové, Jodie Fosterové či Kim Basingerové). Kromě příležitostného hostování v různých divadelních uskupeních ji v poslední době můžeme pravidelně vídat na televizních obrazovkách v úspěšném seriálu Policie Modrava.

The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch - Melinda Taub
Miss Lydia Bennet may be the youngest, but what she lacks in maturity and responsibility, she more than makes up for in energy, fun - and magic.In this exuberant reimagining of Jane Austen s Pride and Prejudice, Lydia Bennet puts pen to paper to relate the real events and aftermath of the classic story from her own perspective. Some facts are well known: Mrs. Bennet suffers from her nerves; Mr. Bennet suffers from Mrs. Bennet, and all five daughters suffer from an estate that is entailed only to male heirs.But Lydia also suffers from entirely different concerns: her best-loved sister Kitty is really a barn cat, and Wickham is every bit as wicked as the world believes him to be, but what else would you expect from a demon? And if you think Mr. Darcy was uptight about dancing etiquette, wait till you see how he reacts to witchcraft. Most of all, Lydia has yet to learn that when you re a witch, promises have power . . .Full of enchantment, intrigue, danger, and boundless magic, The Shocking Confessions of Miss Lydia Bennet, Witch, has all the irreverent wit, strength, and romance of Pride and Prejudice - while offering a highly unexpected redemption for the wildest Bennet sister.

Nejtemnější polibek - Strážkyně Riley Jenson 6 - Arthur Keri
Nebezpečí ji rozpaluje. Vášeň ji činí nebezpečnou. Riley Jensonová loví zloduchy – a dělá to s osobitým stylem. Riley s upíří krví kolující v žilách a s nadpřirozeným vlkodlačím čichem na nebezpečí nosí lodičky z hadí kůže a nekompromisně se vrhá do nejnovějšího případu: má chytit vražedkyni, jejímiž obětmi jsou promiskuitní ženy z lepší společnosti a bohatí a mocní muži, s nimiž se scházely. Pro Riley však případ nabere mrazivý zvrat, když se objeví druhý zabiják, který za sebou nechává cestičku ze zohavených těl: šílený mladý upír, který si vybírá oběti na základě minulosti poznamenané tragédií. Riley ví, že má dostatek schopností i důvtipu k tomu, aby chytila dva sériové vrahy najednou… dokud jeden z nich neudeří na její vlastní pevně sevřený klan – a dokud do jejího života opět nevstoupí jeden sexy upír, aby jí pomohl při lovu. Jmenuje se Quinn. Žije snad už celou věčnost, prolil krev a dělil se o rozkoše… a je jediným mužem, nad nímž nemá Riley absolutně žádnou kontrolu…

Zčásti upír, zčásti vlkodlak. Riley Jensonová ví, co se může stát, když upíři začnou zlobit. Něco takového však ještě nikdy neviděla: sérii brutálních vražd, soustředěných kolem podniku vyhledávaného upíry a lidskými závisláky. Oběti nejsou jen zabity; jsou připraveny o hlavu. Nyní se Riley vrhá do akce, pohrává si se svůdným – a hodně podezřelým – majitelem klubu a ocitá se uprostřed další záhady: někdo zabíjí ženy, ale dělá to beze stopy násilí. Těch několik případů je na Riley už tak akorát, jenže k tomu má ještě dva žárlivé milence: Kye Murphyho, vlkodlaka, na jehož volání slyší vlčí část Rileyiny duše, a Quinna, chladného, elegantního upíra, který má za sebou víc než tisíc let zkušeností s tím, jak splnit přání každé ženy. Zatímco Riley těká mezi dvěma sexy samci, její práce strážkyně nabírá nebezpečné obrátky. Dopadení vraha se stává otázkou života a smrti. Zvlášť když je blíž, než Riley tuší…
