Story5 out of 5 stars 4
From the earliest times, human beings have found it difficult to represent their own bodies in a straightforward way. The rare painted images of humans in Paleolithic art are much less naturalistic than the images of animals created at the same epoch. At the dawn of art, representations of the nude body were simply vehicles for statement about the need for fertility if the human race was to survive successfully.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 912
Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.

The power of DNA and the information it holds is immense. Imagine using that information to discover our past. In our genomes, every one of us holds the history of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and sex. We are much more than our DNA but our DNA holds the keys to our past.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
This is the virtually unknown story of Gustav Sabac el Cher. Gustav, a black man with a gift for discipline and music, grew up in Königsberg and became "the only black bandmaster of the German Army." This fact-filled story takes the listener back in time, over 150 years ago. There we meet the controversial Prussian Prince Albrecht, getting to know him via his travel adventures, as well as in war. Prince Albrecht brought many things from Arabia back to Prussia, one of which was a "human gift" from the Egyptian Viceroy Muhammad Ali: a seven-year-old dark-skinned boy.

Experience the best of Rome in 72 hours! Many travelers who have limited time in a big city like Rome, make one big mistake. They try and see everything Rome has to offer in three days. The problem with this approach is that they end up burned out and tired. The good news is that with the right planning and approach you can have an awesome time in 72 hours. The key is not to try and see everything; rather try and see the best of the best Rome has to offer.
