Parker systematically reviews the key psychoanalytic theories to reveal social processes and their significance to modern life: Freud and object relations theory is directed towards group processes, religion and war; the Frankfurt School is used to examine modern individuality, authoritarianism and changes in culture; and the Lacanian tradition to account for language, representation and self-improvement. The theoretical analysis incorporates throughout the volume the work of key figures ranging from Adorno, Habermas and Fromm to Klein, Kristeva, Winnicott and Zizek.

The first book by Ian Patrick, the United Kingdom's leading teacher of "A Course in Miracles" (ACIM), features the best insights and revelations by Patrick selected from over 100 editions of the UK's leading ACIM newsletter, Miracle Worker. “Ian Patrick has put together a wonderful book that incorporates many of his articles from Miracle Worker magazine. I have read Ian's work for many years. This book is an important contribution that should be read by any serious student of A Course in Miracles. Be prepared for a quantum leap in your knowledge of the Course.” —GARY RENARD, author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality “Think of this book as more of a friendly companion along your spiritual path than yet another ‘how to’ book. Ian Patrick is able to speak to the part of us that knows Truth, remembers Love, and seeks union. In short, this book is not just a journey through A Course in Miracles, it is a gentle voice—sometimes serious and sometimes humorous—awakening something ancient and longed for within each of us. I know Ian Patrick, personally, and I can say he is a man who is always intending to walk what he talks, often taking unique leaps of faith that others only talk about but never do.” —DR. LEE JAMPOLSKY, author of Walking Through Walls and Healing the Addictive Personality “I appreciated Ian's work so much that I urged him to write this book! And what a wealth of insight he shares with us through these pages. This is a timely and valuable book; one that reveals the very 'heart' of all healing—forgiveness.” —NOUK SANCHEZ, co-author of Take Me to Truth; Undoing the Ego "Ian Patrick has written a book with a great deal of love and warmth. We love his informality and good humour. This is, essentially, a personal book. It is as if the reader is meeting a real person. Ian avoids lecturing and is not afraid of connecting at a peer level. He presents a series of brief topics that don't have to be read in order. Those who know nothing about A Course in Miracles are not excluded either. Ian knows how to write." —GERALD G. JAMPOLSKY M.D., co-author of A Mini Course to Life “‘By their fruit you shall know them’... I think this is one of the most powerful spiritual principles around. Many can talk the talk, but when you actually walk the walk you become a miracle worker. It doesn't mean you're perfect (yet), but it does mean that you are willing to walk with God through this world and leave it just a little better. This is how I see Ian Patrick — a dedicated man, who through his book is sharing his ‘fruits’ with us... helping us to see the miraculous results of walking the walk with God.” —BEVERLY HUTCHINSON McNEFF, co-founder and president of Miracle Distribution Center “Ian Patrick’s thoughtful commentaries on the major principles of A Course in Miracles are concise, relevant and practical. With courage and sensitivity, he has used his own issues and challenges to illustrate strategic points and to bring the Course's teaching into everyday experience where it belongs. Both beginners and seasoned students will appreciate this most helpful guide.” —CAROL M. HOWE, author of Never Forget To Laugh: Personal Recollections of Bill Thetford, Co-Scribe of A Course In Miracles

A top police investigative unit breaks an illegal gambling operation in the context of rampant police corruption and drug-fuelled gangster violence in the city. Lead detective Jeremy Ryder is a physically powerful, quiet and meticulous investigator. His partner Navi Pillay is a small and exceptionally strong Tamil martial arts instructor, and she provides the speed and physical power to complement Ryder's incisive sleuthing abilities. Together with their other detective colleagues Ryder and Pillay crack open two interwoven criminal operations. There are two key villains. One is a corrupt murderous senior police officer at the heart of the illegal gambling operation and the other is a sinister and violent gangster dealing in drugs and murder. Each of them presides over lesser criminals and each of them controls separate domains of corruption until their paths cross in a spectacular climax.
