Moore's latest thriller, Rogues & Patriots. As the second installment in Moore's gripping trilogy, this book plunges readers into the dangerous world of veteran LA PI Nick Crane. Locked in a life-or-death struggle with the ruthless Miles Amsterdam and his cabal of aristocratic "super patriots," Crane must navigate a treacherous landscape where power and ideology collide. Eight years after he and his team liquidated Frank Constantine, a murderous military shrink and close personal friend of Miles Amsterdam, Nick Crane finds himself abducted, beaten and threatened with rendition to a black site in Egypt if he refuses to join the Principals' cause, which includes attempting to incite anti-Muslim violence in every major American city. Crane, however, is rescued by his close friend and business partner, Vietnam War vet Bobby Moore, and the war is on. Packed with well-drawn characters, relentless action, and razor-sharp narration, Rogues & Patriots is a scintillating sequel that builds on the momentum of its predecessor, 27 Days. As Nick Crane once again emerges as a beacon of resilience and integrity, readers will be drawn deeper into a world where the fate of a nation hangs in the balance.

Get your copy of Rogues & Patriots today and start on an adrenaline-fueled journey through a world where the line between hero and villain blurs, and only the brave dare to challenge the status quo. Critical Acclaim for Rogues & Patriots "Nick Crane is the kind of guy you can count on. He's smart, tough, and persistent, a throwback to the classic American PI, in the mold of Marlowe and Spade, the kind of guy who runs into the burning building rather than hit the fire alarm. So, be prepared to buckle up for this wild ride." -Charles Salzberg, Three-Time Shamus Award nominee, author of Man on the Run, and winner of the Beverly Hills Book Award "In Rogues & Patriots, LA PI Nick Crane's courage and cunning are put to the test as he battles sinister super patriots. A heart-pounding tale of espionage, friendship, and one man's unwavering resolve against dark forces." -Michael D. Sellers, award winning-writer and director of Eye of the Dolphin "Moore has produced a thought-provoking and suspenseful thriller as PI Nick Crane squares off against a creepy cabal of paramilitarists intent on taking power. Set against the intensifying political divides of our time, Rogues and Patriots builds the action and plot twists with masterful, page-turning precision while offering an insider's portrayal of the investigator's world and the desperate, colorful characters who inhabit it." -John Brown, Los Angeles private investigator

A Convocation of Five

A Convocation of Five

Patrick Conley

Authorhouse
2021
pokkari
SYNOPSIS OF A CONVOCATION OF FIVE What is the value of an ordinary guy's life and who assesses that value? As Tom Albright approaches the end of his days on earth, five individuals meet to evaluate his life. They begin with hearing and commenting on a baby boomer who grew up with illusions of battlefield glory only to lose those illusions during the turbulence of the 60's. Likewise, Tom immersed himself in idealized visions of athletic glory, academic success, racial harmony, romantic love, and religious faith. Like many of his generation, his life story centers on the clash of untested ideal concepts with the blunt, inescapable forces of reality. In this examination of Tom's life, the five who form the convocation will learn as much about themselves as they do about Tom. Like the subject of their study, some will pass on to a new life.

A Layman Investigates Universal Salvation

A Layman Investigates Universal Salvation

Patrick Seamus O'Hara

Resource Publications (CA)
2021
pokkari
What do you know about universal salvation? What is its history? Have mistranslations of the Bible created an eternal hell that does not really exist? What prominent persons in Christian history taught this doctrine and which ones worked to destroy it? Is the teaching of universal salvation truly a heresy, or has it been suppressed by church leaders interested in controlling their people by fear? Patrick Seamus O'Hara needed answers to these questions. This book is the result of research in which he went back into Christian history to examine events leading to the suppression of this once-popular teaching in Christianity. Drawing from ancient writings, he looks at problems with Bible translations, political intrigues within the church, and the personal foibles of church leaders which led to the teaching of universal salvation disappearing from the Christian lexicon. The three main objections to universal salvation are the Fifth Ecumenical Council, the Bible, and the writings of the early church fathers. The author examines each one of these and shares from his research the reasons these are not legitimate objections. The universal salvation of God's immense love is truly the good news of the gospel

Remembering Peasants: A Personal History of a Vanished World

Remembering Peasants: A Personal History of a Vanished World

Patrick Joyce

Scribner Book Company
2024
sidottu
"I had been waiting for much of my life to read this extraordinary book...there are clues and messages for every fortunate reader who picks it up." --Annie Proulx *A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice* A landmark history of the peasant experience, exploring a now neglected way of life that once encompassed most of humanity, but is rapidly vanishing in our time. "What the skeleton is to anatomy, the peasant is to history, its essential hidden support." For over the past century and a half, and most notably over the last seventy years, the world has become increasingly urban, and the peasant way of life--the dominant way of life for humanity since agriculture began well over 6,000 years ago--is disappearing. In this vital history of peasantry, social historian Patrick Joyce aims to tell the story of this lost world and its people, and how we can commemorate their way of life. In one sense, this is a global history, ambitious in scope, taking us from the urbanization of the early 19th century to the present day. But more specifically, Joyce's focus is the demise of the European peasantry and of their rites, traditions, and beliefs. Alongside this he brings in stories of individuals as well as places, including his own family, and looks at how peasants and their ways of life have been memorialized in photographs, literature, and in museums. Joyce explores a people whose voice is vastly underrepresented, and is usually mediated through others, in human history--and now peasants are vanishing in one of the greatest historical transformations of our time. Written with the skill and authority of a great historian, Remembering Peasants is a "first-class work" (Kirkus Reviews), a richly complex and passionate history written with exquisite care. It is also deeply resonant, as Joyce shines a light on people whose knowledge of the land is being irretrievably lost during our critical time of climate crisis and the rise of industrial agriculture. Enlightening, timely, and vitally important, this book commemorates an extraordinary culture whose impact on history--and the future--remains profoundly relevant.

A Readable Yoga: The Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali: A Translation and Commentary

A Readable Yoga: The Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali: A Translation and Commentary

Patrick Barrett Ph. D.

Independently Published
2020
nidottu
A Readable Yoga takes us on an inspiring tour orchestrated by the custodians of the ancient Vedic tradition of India. Unique in its perspective, this work explains yoga from the deeply faceted culture of a timeless yet living tradition. The Yoga Sutras of Maharishi Patanjali represent a series of aphorisms alluding to the profound quiescence of meditation, which then through practice, leads to three sequential and distinctive stages of enlightenment. Here is a worldview that reaches beyond belief or faith. With scientific and historical evidence, the author strategically illustrates the reality of altered and advanced states of consciousness, miraculous human abilities, and the presence of humans on this planet dating back beyond unimaginable spans of time. But A Readable Yoga is not about philosophy or history. This work is about consciousness-the transparent background of the mind that colors and informs our thoughts, our understanding, and our ability to appreciate the deepest joy of life. Each paradigm of advanced consciousness described in the Yoga Sutras is illustrated with the poetry of saints and spiritual luminaries from recent centuries. From widely diverse traditions and spiritual backgrounds, from all over the world, we hear the story of people who have entered into these same distinctive levels of enlightenment originally codified in this seminal work on yoga. But primarily, A Readable Yoga speaks very personally to anyone practicing or aspiring to live the life of yoga in our modern world. Each aphorism, though often directed to the Yogi of advanced experience, offers wisdom, inspiration and insight to anyone who listens with a quiet heart.

A History of Heartache

A History of Heartache

Patrick Strickland

Melville House Publishing
2026
nidottu
From a celebrated journalist, and rooted in our rich tradition of regional short fiction reminiscent of Breece D'J Pancake and Flannery O'Connor, comes a searing story collection set in north Texas that's as vivid and character-driven as his reportage . . . Loosely inspired by the 1996 heroin epidemic in the grittier suburbs of Dallas, this gripping collection of short stories -- many published previously in leading literary journals -- are intimate, honest, and character-driven, and don't shy away from difficult themes. From protagonists struggling with the effects of alcoholism and unemployment, to neo-Nazi skinheads in Dallas, to conspiracy theories, these various colorful characters are depicted with clear-eyed compassion, as well as moments of resilience and even humor, as they work their way to a transcendence of their current, very American, very Texan, situation.

Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman's 1988 "Manufacturing Consent" was a seminal tract in media studies. As Matt Taibbi suggested, after thirty years, it could use an update.

This Readers' Guide clocks in at 20k words, which takes about 90 minutes to read. It is not a substitute for reading Manufacturing Consent, but it will give the curious a pretty good idea of Manufacturing Consent's main theses, its critics views, and an analysis of its themes in today's media environment.The second edition appends a review and analysis of Matt Taibbi's 2019 "Hate Inc."

Compliance is a Race Car.

Patrick Henz

Independently Published
2019
pokkari
The idea of this book is to go further than being a simple Compliance manual, as it should work on distinct levels. Newcomers and experts can learn about the various aspects to create an effective Ethics & Compliance system. The toolbox questions at the end of the different chapters support the reader to understand, if the own program is adequate or requires optimization. Furthermore, the book demonstrates that all parts of the system interact with each other, and the whole is more than the pure addition of the single items.The book invites the reader to a time travel, as it goes to the past to analyze what Compliance can learn from the structures of a traditional Mafia organization (always keeping in mind that Compliance and Mafia stand on opposite sides). Then it brings us back to the creation of a successful race car, to blast off and investigate the near future to understand the new challenges based on Industry 4.0 and Artificial Intelligence.The different trips not only underline that "traveling educates" and due to this, Compliance is not a function to stay behind a desk. Ethics & Compliance is a task to be interpreted based on the own individual character, as it offers the required space and flexibility to climb up Maslow's Pyramid.
