  When God Became White -...

  When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen? 
   
   
   
  Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.

  Humanoid Robots & Drones: How...

  “Humanoid Robots & Drones: How the Age of Smart Machines Will Revolutionize Our World” is a 24‑lecture audio expedition for anyone who likes their wonder with measurements. We chase robots, humanoids, and drones through restaurants, farms, warehouses, hospitals, disaster scenes, stadiums, and city skies—treating each as a solvable puzzle. How does a drone hold position in wind? Why does a humanoid’s shape matter for doors and stairs? When does a non‑humanoid robot beat a humanoid? More often than you’d guess.
   
  You’ll learn the working grammar of the field: motors, cameras, lidar, batteries, and the ugly truth about friction, glare, and radio noise. You’ll see how a drone’s navigation, thermal views, and geofences turn into defect lists, not pretty video; how warehouse robots schedule intersections; why “stop distance” and “payload versus endurance” make or break a plan; and how soft‑skinned humanoids handle the “last ten centimeters” that buildings were designed for human hands. We translate regulation and risk into simple playbooks you can actually use—what the rules permit, what insurers demand, and what keeps neighbors calm.
   
  Expect case studies with receipts: drone light shows that replace fireworks with quiet pixels; roof and bridge inspections before breakfast; farm rigs that spray where plants actually are; hospital runners and delivery bots that save steps and shoulders; telepresence poles and companion robots that help real people on real Tuesdays. The tone is sharp, funny, and unromantic: we puncture hype, celebrate craft, and name failure modes out loud.
   
  By the end, you’ll be able to read a spec sheet like a mechanic, design a credible first deployment, and argue—politely but mercilessly—about the next 10, 25, and 50 years. If you want an operator’s guide to the robots, humanoids, and drones that already work (and the ones that almost do), buckle in. The robots are clocked in, the drones are charged, and class is wheels‑up.

  The Invention of the Restaurant...

  Why are there restaurants? Why would anybody consider eating alongside perfect strangers in a loud and crowded room to be an enjoyable pastime? To find the answer, Rebecca Spang takes us back to France in the eighteenth century, when a restaurant was not a place to eat but a quasi-medicinal bouillon not unlike the bone broths of today. 
   
   
   
  This is a book about the French revolution in taste—about how Parisians invented the modern culture of food, changing the social life of the world in the process. We see how over the course of the Revolution, restaurants that had begun as purveyors of health food became symbols of aristocratic greed. In the early nineteenth century, the new genre of gastronomic literature worked within the strictures of the Napoleonic state to transform restaurants yet again, this time conferring star status upon oysters and champagne.

  Operation Sea Lion Succeeds -...

  The real Operation Sea Lion was fraught with logistical challenges, poor planning, and the formidable defenses of the British military. However, in this alternate history, key factors aligned to turn Hitler’s gamble into a shocking success. The fall of Britain was not inevitable, but a series of strategic shifts, political missteps, and military breakthroughs paved the way for an event that would alter the course of history forever. 
  One of the most significant changes was a decisive shift in Germany’s air strategy. Instead of squandering resources on bombing civilian targets, the Luftwaffe focused relentlessly on eliminating the Royal Air Force. A more coordinated assault on British radar stations, airfields, and aircraft production facilities crippled Britain’s ability to defend its skies. With the RAF severely weakened, the Germans gained air superiority far earlier than in reality, making an amphibious invasion far more feasible. 
  German naval strategy also played a critical role. In this timeline, the Kriegsmarine, instead of being vastly outmatched by the Royal Navy, benefited from increased coordination with the Luftwaffe and U-boat support. The Channel crossing was still risky, but a well-timed offensive, bolstered by deception tactics and a more aggressive submarine campaign, created an opening for German forces to land successfully on British shores.

  The P-38 Lightning and the Men...

  The P-38 Lightning was one of the fastest operational fighters of World War II, famous for its successes in North Africa and the Pacific. In The P-38 Lightning and the Men Who Flew It, Wolfgang W. E. Samuel shares the stories of the young men who climbed into the cockpits of the P-38 to fight for freedom, and of those who created, tested, and deployed these fearsome machines. 
   
   
   
  The P-38 was the product of the Lockheed Corporation, the first fighter they ever built, principally conceptualized by Kelly Johnson, whose design was to meet Air Corps specifications. But it was no easy plane to fly. 
   
   
   
  P-38 units were formed quickly once the United States entered World War II in December 1941. Training was rushed to get pilots and planes to Europe as quickly as possible to serve as bomber escorts. Although the P-38 could fly at the high altitudes the bombers flew, it was not the right aircraft for the mission. In North Africa's warmer air, however, the P-38 came into its own. 
   
   
   
  This book focuses on the men who flew this challenging aircraft and the men who designed and decided how to deploy it. In the Pacific skies, the P-38, its pilots, and designers made the heroic history captured here.
