  Foolproof - Why Misinformation...

  From fake news to conspiracy theories, from inflammatory memes to misleading headlines, misinformation has swiftly become the defining problem of our era. The crisis threatens the integrity of our democracies, our ability to cultivate trusting relationships, even our physical and psychological well-being—yet most attempts to combat it have proven insufficient. 
   
   
   
  With remarkable clarity, Sander van der Linden explains why our brains are so vulnerable to misinformation. Like a virus, misinformation infects our minds, exploiting shortcuts in how we see and process information to alter our beliefs, modify our memories, and replicate at astonishing rates. Once the virus takes hold, it's very hard to cure. 
   
   
   
  But we aren't helpless. As van der Linden shows based on award-winning original research, we can cultivate immunity through the innovative science of "prebunking": inoculating people against false information by preemptively exposing them to a weakened dose, thus empowering them to identify and fend off its manipulative tactics. Deconstructing the characteristic techniques of conspiracies and misinformation, van der Linden gives listeners practical tools to defend themselves and others against nefarious persuasion—whether at scale or around their own dinner table.

  Sexism - The Persistent Struggle...

  Sexism, a deeply entrenched social issue, has been pervasive throughout human history, shaping the experiences of individuals and communities across the globe. At its core, sexism refers to the belief that one gender is superior to another, typically manifesting in the unequal treatment and opportunities given to individuals based on their gender. While this issue affects all genders, it is most commonly seen in the discrimination against women and girls, who have been historically marginalized and denied the same rights and opportunities as their male counterparts. Understanding the complexities of sexism is essential to grasp the ongoing struggle for gender equality, a fight that has evolved over centuries and continues to be relevant today. 
  The importance of gender equality cannot be overstated. It is not only a matter of fairness and justice, but also a key component in building a more prosperous and harmonious society. Gender equality allows individuals to reach their full potential, irrespective of their gender, contributing to economic growth, social development, and personal fulfillment. When men, women, and non-binary individuals have equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and political representation, the entire community benefits. Yet, despite significant progress, gender inequality remains a persistent challenge in many areas of life, from the workplace to the family home, from education to politics.  
  This book explores the multifaceted nature of sexism and the ongoing battle for gender equality around the world. It examines the historical roots of sexism, the cultural and religious influences that perpetuate gender discrimination, and the role of feminist movements in challenging the status quo. It also delves into the modern-day manifestations of sexism, including the gender pay gap, barriers to education, and underrepresentation in leadership positions.

  Spinoza - Freedom's Messiah

  Ian Buruma explores the life and death of Baruch Spinoza, the Enlightenment thinker whose belief in freedom of thought and speech resonates in our own time 
   
   
    
  Baruch (Benedictus) Spinoza (1632–1677) was a radical free thinker who led a life guided by strong moral principles despite his disbelief in an all-seeing God. Seen by many as Satan's disciple during his lifetime, Spinoza has been regarded as a secular saint since his death. Many contradictory beliefs have been attached to his name: rationalism or metaphysics, atheism or pantheism, liberalism or despotism, Jewishness or anti-Semitism. However, there is no question that he viewed freedom of thought and speech as essential to an open and free society. 
   
   
    
  In this insightful account, the award-winning author Ian Buruma stresses the importance of the time and place that shaped Spinoza, beginning with the Sephardim of Amsterdam and followed by the politics of the Dutch Republic. Though Spinoza rejected the basic assumptions of his family's faith, and was consequently expelled from his Sephardic community, Buruma argues that Spinoza did indeed lead a modern Jewish life. To Heine, Hess, Marx, Freud, and no doubt many others today, Spinoza exemplified how to be Jewish without believing in Judaism. His defense of universal freedom is as important for our own time as it was in his.
