  A tale of love, life, and finding your way home... 
  At age nine, as Susanna sat on a horse for the first time, an unbreakable bond was forged. It set the stage for a lifelong odyssey for this determined girl and her devotion to her equine companions. 
  From lush Brazilian rainforests to serene Swedish farms, from thrilling British derby banks to the picturesque wine hills of France, this is a story that spans continents, careers, and crossroads. From driven Olympians to bold bullfighters, from kind horsemanship trainers to daring jumpers, each character who crossed her path shone a light on who she yearned to be. 
  But as she took the road less traveled, Susanna found herself fighting the constant pressure to fit the norm and perform. She battled the societal traps of who she was expected to be, but, in the end, through her bond with her horse, she found a way to break free. When she did, she found herself living her dream life, even before she knew what it entailed. 
  Horse Girl is an enchanting memoir of a woman and her unwavering connection to her horses. It’s a tale of love, life, and finding your way home.

  Conversations with Birds

  "Birds are my almanac. They tune me into the seasons, and into myself." 
   
   
   
  So begins this lively collection of essays by acclaimed filmmaker and novelist Priyanka Kumar. Growing up at the feet of the Himalayas in northern India, Kumar took for granted her immersion in a lush natural world. After moving to North America as a teenager, she found herself increasingly distanced from more than human life and discouraged by the civilization she saw contributing to its destruction. It was only in her twenties, living in Los Angeles and working on films, that she began to rediscover her place in the landscape—and in the cosmos—by way of watching birds. 
   
   
   
  Tracing her movements across the American West, this stirring collection of essays brings the avian world richly to life. Kumar's perspective is not that of a list keeper, counting and cataloguing species. For Kumar, birds "become a portal to a more vivid, enchanted world." At a time when climate change, habitat loss, and the reckless use of pesticides are causing widespread extinction of species, Kumar's reflections on these messengers from our distant past and harbingers of our future offer luminous evidence of her suggestion that "seeds of transformation lie dormant in all of our hearts. Sometimes it just takes the right bird to awaken us."

  Egyptian Art and Architecture -...

  The art and architecture of ancient Egypt are deeply intertwined with the civilization’s religious beliefs and cultural practices. Spanning over three millennia, these artistic expressions were not merely decorative but held profound symbolic meanings, reflecting the Egyptians’ worldview and their connection with the divine. The foundations of Egyptian art and architecture were laid during the early dynastic period, evolving through distinct stages that shaped the visual language of one of history’s most iconic civilizations. 
  Religion played a central role in shaping the aesthetic and thematic aspects of Egyptian art. Temples, tombs, and monuments were designed as sacred spaces, serving as a bridge between the human and divine realms. The concept of Ma’at, representing order and harmony, influenced the geometric precision and symmetrical layouts seen in temple complexes and pyramid construction. Deities were depicted with specific attributes, emphasizing their powers and roles within the cosmos. This symbolic representation extended to Pharaohs, who were portrayed as divine intermediaries, blending human and godly features to signify their sacred status. 
  Symbolism permeated every facet of Egyptian art, from monumental statues to delicate jewelry. Hieroglyphs and pictorial motifs were not merely decorative; they conveyed narratives, prayers, and genealogies. The ankh, symbolizing life, and the scarab, representing transformation and rebirth, are recurring motifs that held spiritual significance. Colors also played a symbolic role: red signified vitality, blue denoted divinity, and gold represented eternity. This symbolic language was meticulously maintained across centuries, creating a consistent artistic identity despite historical changes.
