Micheline's Three Conditions -...

Rose Foley, Micheline Sheehy...

How was it possible for one woman, later joined by a handful of others, to overcome a large organisation and bring about a gender equality sea change in higher education in her country? This is the story of how the granddaughter of Ireland's most famous suffragette won a gender discrimination case for lack of promotion, the first such win in either Ireland or the UK; then donated her €70,000 award to five other women, also passed over in that promotion round, for their High Court case. It tells of the subsequent Micheline’s Three Conditions Campaign, a four-year epic struggle filled with twists and turns, to get the five women promoted. And then the final success.

Minos - What Is Law? – Plato’s...

Plato, Tim Zengerink

What if the law wasn’t just what is written—but what ought to be? 
In Minos, Plato examines the very essence of law in a philosophical dialogue that challenges the foundation of political authority. Socrates asks whether true law is simply what cities declare—or if it must reflect something deeper, more eternal, and more just. 
This modern translation captures the gravity and insight of Plato’s early political thought, providing a brief but powerful introduction to the eternal question: What is justice? 
What you'll discover inside: 
•	A Philosophical Inquiry into the Nature of Law – Beyond rules, toward universal truth 
•	Socratic Method Applied to Politics – Questioning whether law equals justice 
•	A Rare and Fragmentary Text Revived – One of Plato’s boldest but most overlooked dialogues 
•	A Contemporary, Clear Translation – Ideal for modern listeners engaged in legal, ethical, or political thought 
Step into one of Plato’s most daring conversations—and reconsider what gives law its true legitimacy.

Personality Disorders -...

Coral Nunez

Personality disorders are complex mental health conditions that affect the way individuals think, feel, and behave, often leading to difficulties in relationships, work, and daily life. Unlike temporary mood swings or behavioral patterns influenced by stress, personality disorders are deeply ingrained and persistent, typically emerging in adolescence or early adulthood. These disorders shape a person’s worldview, emotional responses, and interactions with others, often resulting in distress for both the individual and those around them.
Personality is a unique combination of traits that influence how a person perceives and responds to the world. In individuals with personality disorders, these traits become rigid and maladaptive, making it difficult to function in a socially acceptable or emotionally stable way. The severity of symptoms can vary, but in many cases, individuals struggle with emotional regulation, self-image, and interpersonal relationships. Some may withdraw from social interactions due to deep-seated mistrust, while others may exhibit erratic or impulsive behaviors that create conflict.
Personality disorders are categorized into three clusters based on shared characteristics. Cluster A includes disorders that involve odd or eccentric thinking and behavior, such as paranoid and schizotypal personality disorders. Cluster B consists of dramatic, emotional, and erratic conditions, including borderline and narcissistic personality disorders. Cluster C encompasses anxious and fearful disorders, such as avoidant and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders. While these clusters help in understanding the broad patterns of personality disorders, individual experiences can differ significantly.
