Prehistory
by Colin RenfrewPrehistory covers human existence before written records, i. e. most of human existence. But it also refers to the discipline through which we scrutinize prehistoric times. PREHISTORY begins by looking at the discovery of a remote human past and the subsequent dramatic growth of the study of prehistory: early archaeology; geology; Darwin's ideas of evolution; cave paintings; fossil discoveries of human ancestors; museums and collections; radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis. Renfrew challenges the conventional assumption of an all-important 'human revolution' 40,000 years ago - when Homo Sapiens first appeared in Europe - and suggests that the key developments were much later. The author's case-studies range widely, from Orkney to the Balkans, from the Indus Valley to Peru, from Ireland to China, and provide fresh insights on landmark monuments such as the Egyptian pyramids, the Valley of the Kings, Stonehenge and the sacrificial burial pyramids at Teotihuacan in Mexico. The book closes with a fascinating chapter on the transition from Prehistory to History, on early writing systems.
Prelude for a Lord
by Camille ElliotBath, England 1810 At twenty-eight, Alethea Sutherton is past her prime for courtship; but social mores have never been her forté. She might be a lady, but she is first and foremost a musician. In Regency England, however, the violin is considered an inappropriate instrument for a lady. Ostracized by society for her passion, Alethea practices in secret and waits for her chance to flee to the Continent, where she can play without scandal. But when a thief ’s interest in her violin endangers her and her family, Alethea is determined to discover the enigmatic origins of her instrument … with the help of the dark, brooding Lord Dommick. Scarred by war, Dommick finds solace only in playing his violin. He is persuaded to help Alethea, and discovers an entirely new yearning in his soul. Alethea finds her reluctant heart drawn to Dommick in the sweetest of duets . . . just as the thief’s desperation builds to a tragic crescendo . . .
Prelude to Philosophy: An Introduction for Christians
by J. P. Moreland Mark W. Foreman"The unexamined life is not worth living," according to Socrates, but pursuing the examined life strikes many as daunting, unappealing and even unnecessary. Is philosophy important? Why do I need philosophy if I have the Bible? Aren't philosophers simply engaged in meaningless disputes that are irrelevant to everyday life?Mark Foreman addresses these and other questions in this "prelude" to the subject. Unlike a full introduction to philosophy, this book is a preliminary discussion that dispels misunderstandings and explains the rationale for engaging in philosophical reasoning. In the first half of the book, Foreman defines the task of philosophy, compares it to other disciplines and demonstrates its practical value to Christians interested in developing a more thoughtful faith. The second half introduces the reader to logic and argumentation, the essential tools of a philosopher. Concise and straightforward, Prelude to Philosophy is a guide for those looking to embark on the "examined life. "

Prem: પ્રેમ
by Dada Bhagwanપ્રેમથી આખી જિંદગીમાં પત્ની અને સંતાનોની ભૂલ ક્યારેય પણ નહિ દેખાય. પ્રેમમાં કોઈ ભૂલો દેખાતી જ નથી. લોકો એકબીજાની ભૂલો કેમ જુએ છે તે જુઓ, ‘તું આવો છે’ ‘ના, તું આવો છે.’ જગતે પ્રેમનો એક અંશ પણ જોયો નથી. આ બધું મોહ અને આસક્તિ છે. શુદ્ધ પ્રેમ વધતો કે ઘટતો નથી. શુદ્ધ પ્રેમ બિનશરતી હોય છે. પ્રેમમાં કોઈ અપેક્ષા નથી હોતી. પ્રેમ ક્યારેય કોઈ અપેક્ષા રાખતો નથી. જગતના વ્યવહારમાં, ફક્ત પ્રેમ જ બાળકો, કામદારો અને બીજા બધાને જીતી શકે છે. બીજા બધા ઉપાયો અંતે નિરર્થક પુરવાર થશે. તમે છોડ ઉગાડો છો, તેને પણ તમારે પ્રેમથી સિંચન કરવું પડે છે. ફક્ત પાણી નાખીને તેની પર બુમો પાડવાથી નહિ ચાલે. જો પ્રેમથી ઉછેરવામાં આવે, તેની સાથે પ્રેમથી વાતો કરવામાં આવે, તો તે તમને મોટા સુંદર ફૂલો આપશે! તો અનુમાન કરો, મનુષ્યો પર આ પ્રેમ કેટલી મોટી અસર કરી શકે!. જગતે અગાઉ ક્યારેય જોયો, સાંભળ્યો, માન્યો કે અનુભવ્યો નથી તેવો પરમ પ્રેમ આપણે જોઈતો હોય તો પ્રેમની જીવતી મૂર્તિ એવા જ્ઞાની પુરુષની ભક્તિ કરવી જોઈએ. તમારા જીવન ને પ્રેમ અને સુખથી ભરી દેવા વાંચો....

Premonitions (Made in Michigan Writers Series)
by Elizabeth SchmuhlVisceral and brimming with vitality, the poems in Premonitions reverberate with the voice of a woman on a secluded farm, confronting her emotional and physical isolation. Drawing on her own experience as a daughter of a third-generation fruit farmer, Elizabeth Schmuhl gives readers a fresh and powerful perspective on what it means to be alive. Layering one upon another, the poems blur boundaries and create a volatile state out of which the remarkable and unexpected occur. Embracing chaos, change, and unpredictability, these poems are energetically charged and infused with succinct, imagistic language. They reach beyond the constraints assigned to the female form and examine a place where time, the body, sexuality, and the natural world are not fixed. At times surreal, at others painfully real, the poems in Premonitions are the expression of a human life that merges and melds with the world around it, acting and reacting, loving and despairing, disintegrating and rebuilding. The speaker travels fluidly between strata of the natural world and her own body. Adding to the complexity of her poems, Schmuhl creates additional layers of meaning as the poems and their titles relate to the author’s synesthesia, a sensory phenomenon through which letters and numbers are experienced as colors and emotions. Premonitions will turn the reader inward, encouraging the examination of the small details of life and a growing acceptance of the perpetual turmoil and uncertainty of existence despite our own desire to find a firm footing. This volume will be prized by lovers of contemporary poetry and literature alike.

Preparation for the Coming of the Lord
by Lance LambertWhile at Halford House in Richmond, England, Lance Lambert shared a series of messages on preparing for the coming of the Lord. These messages have been transcribed into this book. The spoken form has been preserved and only necessary editing done for clarity. Preparation is something we should not take lightly, but with great seriousness. We do not know when our Lord Jesus will return, but we are told of the signs of His second coming. We pray, "Lord Jesus, come quickly," but in that prayer we know that we must be ready, be prepared for His return. As we see the end approaching, when our Lord and Savior will return and establish His kingdom on this earth, we must be prepared. We must be ready and watching for Him. May the Lord use the practical help presented in these messages to prepare His people.
Prepare For Battle: Basic Training in Spiritual Warfare
by Neal Pirolo"I hate war!" Neal declares in his opening paragraph. "But my hatred for the enemy of our souls is greater than my abhorrence of war!" Making reference to over 700 Scriptures that point to victory in battle, Neal focuses on the basics, yet with significant, new insights: Spiritual Armor, Spiritual Weapons, Our Attitude Toward War, Tactics of satan, Spiritual Authority, Principles of War, and Strategies for Battlefield Living. Each chapter is followed by PRACTICAL INSIGHTS written by Yvonne from her experiences. Reader comments: "Some people deny that we are at war, yet others have convoluted ideas about it.

Prepare Them to Shepherd: Test, Train, Affirm, and Send the Next Generation of Pastors (Practical Shepherding Series)
by R. Albert Mohler Jr. Brian CroftAre You Called to Ministry? Those who are involved in full-time ministry often say they have been “called” to do what they do. But what does that mean? Who does the “calling,” and how is it received? In Prepare Them to Shepherd, pastor Brian Croft unpacks the biblical model for preparing individuals for full-time ministry. In the past, training and sending individuals into full-time pastoral ministry and missionary work was viewed as the responsibility of the local church. Today, much of that responsibility has been delegated to Bible colleges, seminaries, and parachurch and mission organizations. The aim of Prepare Them to Shepherd is to challenge local churches to recover the biblical model for ministerial training and assume responsibility to identify and prepare gifted and godly individuals for service in Christ’s body. Part of the Practical Shepherding series of books, this insightful book provides pastors and ministry leaders with the practical help they need to test, train, affirm, and send those who are called into ministry.
