Brexit Unfolded
"Masterful" – Ian Dunt "Fascinating" – Professor Brian Cox "Vital" – David Miliband *** Britain's 2016 vote to leave the EU divided the nation, unleashing years of political turmoil. Today, many remain unreconciled to Brexit whilst, in a tragic irony, some of those most committed to it are angry and dissatisfied with what was delivered. In this clear-headed assessment, Chris Grey argues that this painful legacy was all but inevitable, skilfully unpacking how and why the promise of Brexit dissolved during the confusing and often dramatic events that followed the referendum. Now fully updated with an afterword covering each element of the Brexit debate since the end of the transition period in 2021, this new edition remains the essential guide to one of the most bitterly contested issues of our time.
The Effortless Empire
Money gives you choices. The more money you have, the more freedom you generally have. Whether you choose to spend your money on material possessions, use it to spend more time with your family or give it away to charitable causes, would you like to learn how you can generate more from your current income and time? The Effortless Empire explains how you can use your high income to create more passive wealth to a point where you could even completely replace your current income. The ultimate aim is to give you more freedom and choice so that you can decide whether you want to continue working or not. Chris Gray discloses some vital tips on making the most of your income, how to build a property investing strategy, making rational financial decisions, how to self-sustain your property and reasons why you need to build a professional team of advisors to implement your strategy.
The Moderator
As a Facebook moderator Chris Gray spent his days looking at horrendous images of self-harm, killing and the worst of human behaviour, with just a short period of training and an employee handbook to guide him. Viewing disturbing online content became a way of life for him. Years later, the psychological trauma of his job hit him like a ton of bricks and he was diagnosed with PTSD. In this eye-opening account, we follow his quest to hold the behemoth Facebook to account for his PTSD – a journey that would ultimately lead him to take legal action against one of the world's most powerful corporations. The Moderator is the story of the mental health fallout from this very new type of job and an exploration of one of the most important questions of the 21st century: when everybody has direct communication with everybody else in the world, what should people be allowed to share, when is it okay to silence them – and who decides?
Cyborg Citizen
The growing synergy of humans and technology--from dialysis to genetically altered foods to PET scans--is transforming how we view our minds and our bodies. But how has it changed the body politic? How can we forge a society that protects the rights of human and cyborg alike? The creator of the cult classic Cyborg Handbook, Chris Hables Gray, now offers the first guide to "posthuman" politics, framing the key issues that could threaten or brighten our technological future. For good or ill, politics has already been cyborged in ways that touch us all: On-line voting promises to change who participates. Wars are won on video screens. Biotechnological advances-- cloning, sexual prostheses, gene...
The Spatial Factor In African History

The Tie That Binds
The author's rejected doctoral thesis hypothesis--that the black middle class has a weaker racial identity than other blacks, and hence, are more politically conservative-- stimulated this study. From her interviews of college students at three historically black and three majority-white institutions, Simpson (political science, U. of Washington, Seattle) unearthed attitudes on the black political leadership, racism in the not-so-new South, media images of blacks, and gender/racial identity tensions--pointing to a generation liberal on race issues and conservative on moral and cultural matters.
