As a philosopher, Locke saw himself as an "under-labourer" clearing the path to knowledge, asking: _What do we know? How do we know it?_
Mark G. Spencer notes Locke wrote for "the ordinary man," exploring how humans gain knowledge through experience and reason – ideas that paved the way for the 18th century and remain relevant today.

The Tech Coup - How to Save...

Marietje Schaake

Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
 
 
 
In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.

Flatland: A Romance of Many...

Edwin A. Abbott

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions is a satirical novella by the English schoolmaster and clergyman Edwin Abbott Abbott. The story describes a two-dimensional world occupied by geometric figures, where of women are simple line-segments, while men are polygons with various numbers of sides. Written pseudonymous by "A Square", the book used the fictional two-dimensional world of Flatland to comment on the hierarchy of Victorian culture, but the novella's more enduring contribution is its examination of dimensions. This masterpiece of science (and mathematical) fiction is a delightfully unique and highly entertaining satire that has charmed readers for more than 100 years.

The Secret Life of Trees - How...

The Nature Club

You walk the same path through the woods most weeks, or past the same street trees every morning, and it all looks pleasantly green and completely silent. It isn't. Underneath your feet and above your head, an enormous conversation is going on.

This is that conversation, told one astonishing behaviour at a time. You'll hear how a tree under insect attack warns its neighbours, how sugar travels between roots through the fungal network in the soil, how a cut stump can be kept alive for decades by the trees around it, and how a whole forest breathes, drinks and keeps time with the seasons. Every chapter is short, warm and built around a single discovery you can look for yourself.

By the end you won't see a row of trunks anymore — you'll see families, alliances, memory and slow negotiation. Press play, then step outside and look up. The wood will never be quiet again.
