"My journey has transformed me from Royal Marine Commando to Lay Minister of Healing. Twenty-five years ago, I was trained to kill or be killed; now it is my privilege to teach people to heal and be healed."

So Nigel Mumford, director of the healing center, the Oratory of the Little Way, summarizes his extraordinary journey. He shares his personal story, stories from his healing ministry, and healing prayers, giving the reader insight into a little known world of modern miracles.

In a world where humanity has so far failed to learn any positive lessons from two devastating world wars, where trillions of US dollars are being spent on armaments and new inventions to kill, where terrorism has been gaining control over reason, constructive dialogue and diplomacy, sheer madness seeks to control and run international relations. While a group of states attempt through globalization, international organizations, democratic theories and practices to establish an international order based on repudiating warfare as the mean to resolve conflicts whether economic, social, political or ideological, others have enlisted themselves in fundamentalist, fanatic and terrorist armies, to establish their new world order. They call their ideology divine and sacred, led by God himself, who, at this time is filled with anger and vengeance against His creation because it opted to follow a secular and democratic way of life. He is willing through terror, fear and unlimited oppression to destroy two-thirds of that creation. This cultural-religious conflict has become a reality formed of scattered groups of fundamentalists led by Iranian claims, that God is sending His messenger, Al-Mahdi, to perform the task and impose a divinely run world order.

This introduction to social and cultural anthropology has become a modern classic, revealing the rich global variation in social life and culture across the world. Presenting a clear overview of anthropology, it focuses on central topics such as kinship, ethnicity, ritual and political systems, offering a wealth of examples that demonstrate the enormous scope of anthropology and the importance of a comparative perspective. Using reviews of key works to illustrate his argument, for over 25 years Thomas Hylland Eriksen's lucid and accessible textbook has been a much respected and widely used undergraduate-level introduction to social anthropology. This fully updated fifth edition features brand new chapters on climate and medical anthropology, along with rewritten sections on ecology, nature and the Anthropocene. It also incorporates a more systematic engagement with gender and digitalisation throughout the text.

This book by Leon Trotsky makes a profound analysis and evaluation of Stalinism and the Soviet burreacracy. It was written in 1936 before Trotsky was murdered in Mexico by Stalin's secret police. Trotsky's thinking prophesied the collapse of the Soviet Union 60 years before it happened. This collapse was instigated by the buffon and drunk Boris Yeltsin as his leadership has led to the 'new oligarchy' in Russia. Trotsky was a very important leader in the October Revolution and it is thought that Lenin wanted him to take the leadership rather than the tyrant Stalin. This book is very impotant reading to everyone interest in Marxist theory and the history of Russia. A Collector's Edition.
