  CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota's memoir Combat Love is her story of growing up longing for stability and attachment as the foundation of her family crumbled. Set on the Jersey Shore in the free-range 1980s, Camerota finds the belonging she craves courtesy of a local punk rock band named Shrapnel and their diehard fans. Combat Love chronicles her near-misses and misadventures at clubs like CBGB and Max's Kansas City, coupled with the sex, drugs, and punk rock of 1980s New Jersey. By the time she leaves home at sixteen, it feels like home had left her long ago. 
   
    
   
  Combat Love is also the story of two women, mother and daughter, trying to forge their own paths and independence, and find their own happiness, success, and wholeness. Camerota's story searches for the line between shelter and risk, nurture and neglect, parenting and personal freedom. What are we willing to sacrifice for self-actualization and happiness? What if the answer is your mother, or your daughter? 
   
    
   
  The two-time Emmy-award-winning Camerota retraces her steps down an often gritty path toward her dream of becoming a journalist. At times heartbreaking and pulse-pounding, Combat Love is an inspiration for anyone who's ever searched for that elusive place called home.

  The Art of Rome - Masterpieces...

  The art of ancient Rome was shaped by a blend of cultural influences, evolving through a combination of native traditions and foreign influences, most notably from the Etruscans and Greeks. Early Roman art was heavily influenced by the Etruscans, who occupied central Italy before the rise of Rome. Etruscan art was characterized by its religious themes, vibrant frescoes, and elaborate tomb paintings, which had a significant impact on the early Roman artistic style. These early Roman artists often adopted Etruscan methods but began incorporating their own innovations, creating a distinctive blend of the two cultures. 
  Greek art also played a crucial role in the development of Roman art. As Rome expanded and conquered Greece, it absorbed many aspects of Greek culture, including their artistic styles. Greek sculptural ideals of beauty, proportion, and harmony were emulated by Roman artists. However, while Greek art favored idealized forms and perfection, Roman art took a more realistic approach, focusing on depicting individuals as they truly appeared. Roman portraiture, for example, was known for its attention to detail, capturing the wrinkles, facial expressions, and other characteristics that defined a person’s likeness. This move toward realism was a major shift from the idealized forms of Greek art, and it became a hallmark of Roman artistry. 
  In the early stages of Roman art, the primary medium was sculpture, often used to commemorate important figures or events. The Romans developed a talent for creating lifelike statues and busts, which were displayed in homes and public spaces to honor ancestors and gods. These sculptures, often made from marble or bronze, served as a means of preserving the memory of individuals or celebrating military victories.
