  The Art of the Pharaohs -...

  Ancient Egyptian art is one of the most iconic and influential art forms in history. Spanning over three millennia, it provides a deep insight into the culture, religion, and beliefs of ancient Egyptian society. The art of Egypt is characterized by its symbolic use of colors, the strict adherence to formal rules of representation, and its focus on the afterlife. It was primarily created for religious, funerary, and commemorative purposes, serving as a medium to honor the gods and pharaohs, as well as to ensure a successful passage into the afterlife for the deceased. 
  The origins of Egyptian art can be traced back to the early dynastic periods, where it evolved in response to both religious needs and political structures. As the power of the pharaohs grew, so did the complexity and grandeur of Egyptian art. The early works were heavily influenced by the religious beliefs that governed life and death. Art was not seen as a form of personal expression but rather as a tool to serve divine and societal purposes. The rigid style and symbolic representations seen in Egyptian art reflect the culture's focus on order, permanence, and the divine, rather than individualism or naturalism. 
  Key materials used in Egyptian art included stone, wood, and metals, often adorned with vibrant pigments. The Egyptians were skilled in creating sculptures, jewelry, and paintings that survived for thousands of years due to their mastery of preservation techniques. The most recognizable aspects of Egyptian art include the distinctive posture and proportions in their sculptures, as well as the use of vibrant, symbolic colors in their paintings. These works were often intended for tombs, temples, and other sacred spaces, ensuring the continued favor of the gods and providing a connection to the divine realm.

  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.

  My Amazing 35 Year Journey...

  This is the audiobook of Part 1 of my memoir, My Amazing 35 Year Journey Abroad. I open the book at a time in my life when I was living in an unheated garage in the dead of winter in Chicago and that came about because of my alcoholism. The year was 1981 and I was 28 years old. By this time in my life I had been kicked out of college, fired from 2 jobs including being fired by my father for crashing my company car drunk, divorced once with another one on the way, and I was broke and jobless. I would then pick myself up and brush myself off and get hired as a stockbroker by Dean Witter Reynolds. I would then blow that great opportunity by, you guessed it, abusing alcohol, and after working for 3 different brokerage houses, I would then quit drinking, start my modeling career, take an inadvertent 1 week ski trip to Austria, and then decide not to get on that return flight to Chicago, but instead would take a train from innsbruck to Nice, France where I would work as a model and actor, and then after a few months in Nice, I would move to Paris where I would live for 6 or so months, and then because of a suggestion from a photographer during a job there, I would end up flying to Singapore where I would work as a model and actor there, then after about 6 months there, I would end up moving to NYC to study acting and work as an actor there, and during my day job, I worked as a skate guard at Rockefeller Center where I would work with LIberace during his show there celebrating the skating rinks 50th birthday and there are photos in the book to prove it. Then from NYC I would move to Hong Kong where I would work as a featured actor in 4 movies, including a role in Kickboxer. I would then move to Bangkok, Thailand where I would start my nudie photography career and become the most prolifice photographer of naked Asian girls in the world. It is now 2024 and I am still in Thailand, retired here at the age of 70.
