Synopsis

In "The Great Civilizations of the Ancient East," George Rawlinson embarks on an academic exploration of the profound and intricate societies that rose along the cradle of civilization. Through a blend of keen historical analysis and vivid narrative, Rawlinson examines the cultural, political, and social dynamics of early civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Persia, and the Indus Valley. His meticulous attention to detail and engagement with primary sources illuminate the complexities of these societies, providing readers with a rich understanding of their achievements and legacies. The work stands as a testament to the evolving nature of historiography, reflecting the intellectual currents of the 19th century and contributing to the broader field of ancient history. George Rawlinson, a prominent historian and Assyriologist, was deeply influenced by his scholarly background and linguistic prowess in ancient languages. His tenure at the University of Oxford and his profound interest in Near Eastern studies led him to develop a unique perspective on the civilizations of the Persian Empire and beyond. Rawlinson's expertise was further shaped by his translations of cuneiform inscriptions, which provided him with firsthand insights into ancient Mesopotamian societies, allowing him to contribute significantly to the understanding of these enduring cultures. "The Great Civilizations of the Ancient East" is an essential read for history enthusiasts and scholars alike. Rawlinson'Äôs ability to weave together scholarly rigor with engaging storytelling invites readers to embark on a journey through time, exploring the foundational narratives that shaped humanity. This work not only enriches our understanding of ancient cultures but also serves as an important reminder of the interconnectedness of human civilizations.

Her world revolves around her grandma, siblings, school, and all her village friends, until one day, when a detonating bomb announced the beginning of a devastation that would go down in history—The Vietnam War. Having never known her father and being estranged from her mother, who resides in the US with her American husband, she soon finds herself fighting the treacherous waters of the sea in a small boat, seeking refuge from the war with a daunting task glowering down at her—starting a new life in a foreign land, under the care of her estranged mother no less. Lena recounts all her doubts, insecurities, and challenges, including her near brush-ins with death itself in this book, hoping to motivate others through her story of sheer grit and determination to survive all odds and build a better life.

    The Life Model is a unifying approach to ministries of counseling, recovery, pastoral care, prayer ministry, deliverance, inner healing, child rearing, body life and health. Substance abuse recovery programs internationally are guided by the Life Model's five principles. Because the Life Model develops strong maturity, it is widely used as a church model, particularly where people must face suffering. Missions have adopted the Life Model for restoring hurt missionary children. Almost every major ministry dealing with trauma and abuse in the USA uses the Life Model as part of their teaching. This new version now includes study questions at the end of each chapter as well as many other bonuses. Written by James Friesen, E James Wilder, Anne Bierling, Rick Koepcke, and Maribeth Poole.

    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules

    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    The Qabbalists conceive of the Supreme Deity as an Incomprehensible Principle to be discovered only through the process of eliminating, in order, all its cognizable attributes. That which remains--when every knowable thing has been removed--is AIN SOPH, the eternal state of Being. Although indefinable, the Absolute permeates all space. Abstract to the degree of inconceivability, AIN SOPH is the unconditioned state of all things. Substances, essences, and intelligences are manifested out of the inscrutability of AIN SOPH, but the Absolute itself is without substance, essence, or intelligence. AIN SOPH may be likened to a great field of rich earth out of which rises a myriad of plants, each different in color, formation, and fragrance, yet each with its roots in the same dark loam--which, however, is unlike any of the forms nurtured by it. The "plants" are universes, gods, and man, all nourished by AIN SOPH and all with their source in one definitionless essence; all with their spirits, souls, and bodies fashioned from this essence, and doomed, like the plant, to return to the black ground--AIN SOPH, the only Immortal--whence they came.
