The media dominates our lives. We give more time to viewing, surfing, listening and reading than we do to families and friends. It's a relationship that's built on trust - and it's a relationship in crisis. TV's fake phone-ins, dodgy trailer editing, reporters resorting to phone-bugging to get stories - what can we believe? This is an insider's eye on the scandals that have sucked the public's trust from the media. 'Informed and entertaining' Martha Kearney (£10.99 to subscribers to Essential Articles). For 16-18.

The animals rights debate inflames passions. But it is often hard to know who to believe: radical animal rights protestors who claim that humans and animals should have equal rights; or scientists who argue that it is always legitimate to use animals for our benefit.This very accessible book brings fresh thinking to an often bitter argument. The author defends a practical idea of the ethics of treating animals, distinguishing ways in which animals are our equals from ways in which they are not. Readership: post 16.
