As part of our series of book reviews we feature the choices of a number of reviewers to review a particular book of note that they have read. The series Books of our Times do not necessarily have to be recently published, but they should be of seminal significance in the reviewer’s opinion, and of relevance to the times we are living in.

Professor Mary E Daly, Dr Ciaran Casey and Charles Lysaght review their selection of books they deem of seminal significance to the times we are living in.
