  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.

  Go behind the scenes of the Great White Way with this illustrated guide to the Theater District’s hidden history--an essential book for your explorations of the district from a seasoned Broadway guide. Broadway is one of New York’s greatest treasures, and where there is treasure, there is a backstory. When it comes to Broadway, that backstory is fittingly juicy, dramatic, and unexpected. And no one knows these hidden histories like Teale Dvornik, who has been leading Broadway fans on tours of the theater district since 2017. With her immense knowledge and passion for the theater, Dvornik now takes readers on her one-of-a-kind tour of Broadway, “stopping” at each of the 41 theaters to tell us fun facts, lesser-known history, ghost tales, and interesting stories about actors, performances, stage flukes, blunders, and more, involving the biggest names and productions in theater history.  Learn about the Tiffany chandeliers of the Belasco Theater, the trove of hidden jewels at the Gershwin (which houses years of history from the beloved musical Wicked), and the impresarios and players who influenced Broadway. Readers will also learn the fascinating back stories of theater myths, legends, and traditions. Where did the stage ghost light come from? What started the tradition of intermissions? Which theaters have secret connecting hallways? And much, much more!  Along the way, Teale takes detours to explain stage lingo and dives into some of Broadways most popular shows, including CATS, Hello, Dolly!, and Rent.

  LONGLISTED FOR THE ANGLO-HELLENIC LEAGUE RUNCIMAN AWARD 2022 
   
  What do the Greek myths mean to us today? 
   
  It’s now a golden age for these tales – they crop up in novels, films and popular culture. But what’s the modern relevance of Theseus, Hera and Pandora? Were these stories ever meant for children? And what’s to be seen now at the places where heroes fought and gods once quarrelled? 
  Peter Fiennes travels to the sites of some of the most famous Greek myths, on the trail of hope, beauty and a new way of seeing what we have done to our world. Fiennes walks through landscapes – stunning and spoiled – on the trail of dancing activists and Arcadian shepherds, finds the ‘most beautiful beach in Greece’, consults the Oracle, and loses himself in the cities, remote villages and ruins of this storied land. 
   
  ‘Peter Fiennes’s road trip around Greece [is] engagingly described’ Mary Beard, TLS

  Global Puppet Masters -...

  In the modern world, understanding the foundations of global influence is essential to comprehend how power operates on the world stage. Power, in this context, refers to the ability of an actor—be it a nation-state, corporation, or non-governmental organization—to shape outcomes and direct events. Global influence manifests through various mechanisms, from economic leverage to cultural dominance, from military might to technological advancement. These power structures are not static; they evolve and adapt, shifting with changing political landscapes, societal developments, and technological innovations. To better understand these complexities, it is vital to define and explore the different types of power that govern global interactions. 
  The concept of power can be categorized into three primary types: hard power, soft power, and smart power. Hard power is the use of force or coercion, such as military action or economic sanctions, to achieve a desired outcome. It is often associated with traditional methods of exerting influence. Soft power, on the other hand, involves shaping preferences and values through non-coercive means, such as diplomacy, cultural exports, or the appeal of ideologies. Smart power combines both hard and soft power, strategically applying each to achieve desired objectives in a rapidly changing world. 
  The Decahedron Model is introduced as a comprehensive framework for analyzing global influence. This model identifies ten pillars of power that work together to create a complex web of interconnected global forces. These pillars include political, economic, military, technological, media, cultural, environmental, psychological, strategic, and financial influence. The Decahedron’s unique approach emphasizes that these pillars do not operate in isolation; rather, they interact and reinforce one another, creating a dynamic system where shifts in one pillar can lead to ripple effects throughout the entire global system.
