  Frederick is freed of his indentures to the ferociously temperate Pirates of Penzance. What will he do with his newfound freedom?  
  This audiobook is based on the libretto from W. S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. It includes all the original material in the libretto, adapted to make the tale a narrative, rather than an operetta.  
  It’s a rare opportunity to celebrate the sharp wit of Gilbert’s writing, as it is brought to the fore.

  As one of the world’s leading female professional rock and ice climbers, Majka Burhardt and her husband led globe-trotting, adventure-seeking lives. When she learns that she’s pregnant—with twins—Burhardt at first tries to justify her insistence on pursuing extreme risk in the face of responsibility. But she is ultimately forced to grieve the avalanche of emotions that accompanies any major life transitions along with the physical changes in her own body. 
  Based on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently kept over the course of those six years, More takes the reader on an around-the-world journey as Burhardt explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on career, identity, marriage, and self. 
  In the early weeks of her children's lives, Burhardt immerses herself in adoration for her twins and grappling with the tremendous guilt and struggle around having to return to risk-laden work and that ever elusive balance mothers everywhere seek amidst it all.  
  As the newness of her twins fades into a permanent reality, Burhardt turns her attention towards her marriage and the collateral damage as she and her husband, Peter, struggle to navigate their new normal. As anger and resentment threaten the foundation of her family, Burhardt courageously looks to her past—and her own mother's tumultuous and confusing history of success, violence, and ragged divorce—to better understand her own way forward. How will she break free from the legacy of her own childhood to start fresh with her own family?  
  Raw, candid, and galvanizing, More is a passionate and poignant testament to the enduring power of love and our lifelong journey to understand ourselves as we strive to always pursue more.

  THE DARK KNIGHT RISES 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY CHRISTOPHER NOLAN 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, marking the conclusion of his Batman trilogy. Set eight years after The Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) has retired as Batman, living in isolation. However, Gotham faces a new threat in the form of Bane (Tom Hardy), a masked revolutionary who seeks to destroy the city. As Bane's plan unfolds, Bruce is forced to confront his past, physical limitations, and the legacy of Gotham’s protector. The film explores themes of redemption, resilience, and sacrifice, blending action with emotional depth and complex character arcs. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Nolan described the central theme of "The Dark Knight Rises" as "pain," in contrast to "fear" in "Batman Begins" and "chaos" in "The Dark Knight." 
    
  “To avoid leaks, Christopher Nolan chose to verbally share the film's ending with the cast rather than providing written scripts.” 
    
  “To make Bane appear taller than his co-stars, Tom Hardy, who stands at 5'9", wore lifts that added three inches to his height.” 
    
  “The line "That's a lovely, lovely voice" was improvised by Tom Hardy during a scene at approximately 1 hour 28 minutes in the film.” 
    
  “Tom Hardy revealed that the most challenging aspect of filming was the fight scenes. Despite being a huge Batman fan, he said it felt strange to be "beating up [his] childhood hero."”

  In the extreme environment of airport fire emergencies, leadership is not tested by flames alone — but by the mind under pressure. 
  This work explores the hidden psychological dimension of the airport fire commander: 
   how decisions are made in seconds, 
   how fear is controlled before it spreads, 
   and how mental resilience becomes the real line between chaos and control. 
  Psychological Leadership for an Airport Firefighting Commander goes beyond tactics and equipment, diving into stress management, cognitive clarity, emotional command, and decision-making under life-critical pressure. 
  This is not just about fighting fires — 
   it is about leading minds, mastering fear, and commanding the moment when everything is on the line.
