From the earliest times people have pondered why we are here; philosophers and scientists continue to grapple with the question. For this compilation of wisdom and insights into what is truly important, Catherine Conlon tracked down people from varying walks of life, all with a deep connection to Ireland, for answers to life's crucial questions. Contributors include Maureen Gaffney, Chris Hadfield, Sr Stan, Colum McCann, Alice Taylor, Conor Pope and many others from the worlds of writing, politics, journalism, charity and more. This collection will inspire self-reflection and lead us to reconsider our notion of the real value of our lives.

The singer of a gothic metal band, a depressed portrait painter, and a psychologist who has changed his profession have something in common; none of them remember how they got to that strange place called Saol Eile. And they don't know how to get out either... Readers loved the unexpected twists, the short and addictive chapters, and the dark atmosphere surrounding this novel.

Dec and Rori’s romance continues with the next book in the Primani Series. Saol Mates isn’t a stand-alone title. Readers should finish Broken Souls before picking up Saol Mates to fully enjoy Dec and Rori’s journey. After two years together, Dec and Rori can’t wait to get married and live happily ever after... and after ... and after. The date is set. The invitations have been sent. The demons have been quiet. Everything’s perfect. Everything’s perfect except for the brutalized Angel of Wrath they rescue in Central Park. Unleashed and unhinged, the angel’s fury knows no bounds, and he’s out for blood. Can Dec and Rori survive long enough to make it to the altar?

This volume is a collection of essays in honour of Professor Mohammad Ardeshir. It examines topics which, in one way or another, are connected to the various aspects of his multidisciplinary research interests. Based on this criterion, the book is divided into three general categories. The first category includes papers on non-classical logics, including intuitionistic logic, constructive logic, basic logic, and substructural logic. The second category is made up of papers discussing issues in the contemporary philosophy of mathematics and logic. The third category contains papers on Avicenna’s logic and philosophy. Mohammad Ardeshir is a full professor of mathematical logic at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, where he has taught generations of students for around a quarter century. Mohammad Ardeshir is known in the first place for his prominent works in basic logic and constructive mathematics. His areas of interest are however much broader and include topics in intuitionistic philosophy of mathematics and Arabic philosophy of logic and mathematics. In addition to numerous research articles in leading international journals, Ardeshir is the author of a highly praised Persian textbook in mathematical logic. Partly through his writings and translations, the school of mathematical intuitionism was introduced to the Iranian academic community.
