A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we're helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.

Media reviews

“Infinitely Demanding is a profound reflection on contemporary ethical theory which articulates, in a very original and insightful way, most of the themes which have informed normative reflection of the last few decades. It is essential reading for the years to come.”—Ernesto Laclau

“Simon Critchley is the most powerful and provocative philosopher now writing about the complex relations of ethical subjectivity and reinvigorated democracy. His subtle readings of Badiou, Løgstrup and Levinas as well as Marx, Gramsci and Laclau are a gem. And his humour-inflected notions of commitment and resistance are refreshing in our nihilistic times.”—Cornel West, Princeton University

“Simon Critchley's book is remarkable in terms of its clarity, emotion, and energy. Combining close readings of both classical and modern writers with the data of his own experience, Critchley puts forward a theory of fundamental anarchism baacked up by a vigorous ethical commitment. Reading and discussing this essay is utterly essential.”—Alain Badiou

“Today we are bombarded from all sides by different versions of the superego injunction ENJOY!—realize your potentials, have a good time, find your inner peace with meditation. Critchley's book disturbs this complacency with a more than timely reminder that ethics is at its roots a responsibility towards Otherness—you should love your neighbor MORE than yourself!”—Slavoj Žižek
