  When people think of Kentucky, three things usually come to mind: bourbon, Colonel Sanders's secret chicken recipe, and the glamorous Kentucky Derby. Add college basketball to that list, and you have yourself a superfecta. Looking beyond these time-honored traditions, however, visitors will find in Kentucky a diverse patchwork of faces and places, each as unique as the state's geography.Kentucky, Y'all is an entertaining and informative compilation of the state's favorite oddities, cultural quirks, traditions, and rites of passage. Authors and proud Kentuckians Blair Thomas Hess and Cameron M. Ludwick share the best stories from their experiences as writers, travelers, and residents in this ode to the Commonwealth. From the iconic to the obscure, the book reveals vital knowledge that every Kentuckian―whether by birth, residence, or simply in mind and heart―should know. What is beer cheese? Who was Bill Monroe? Where can you get a hemp hot dog? Listeners are introduced to the brilliant minds behind the Louisville Slugger, the Bowie knife, and pioneering work in genetics. The book also includes a handy list of dos and don'ts of tailgating, a Kentucky sayings glossary, and bucket lists of things to do, drink, read, and eat. Kentucky, Y'all is an insightful and exuberant guide to the Bluegrass State―for Kentucky natives and visitors alike.

  White Lies - Critical Race...

  It's past time for us to break down obstacles to success and education for people of color, speak out against global social injustices, and stop hiding behind the cliché, "I'm white, I can't speak out on the race." In our thoughts, acts, and words, we must be deliberately anti-racist. Someone who claims to be anti-racist may not laugh at a racist joke or remain silent when they hear a racist remark, but this does not make them anti-racist. One of the numerous issues with racism is that it manifests itself in various ways. It has institutional and structural roots, is based on colonial history, and has been passed down through the generations like an unsightly relic. It's outspoken, red-faced, and enraged, willing to assault you on the street. In the absence of representation, in the 'banter' and 'harmless' comments, in the twitching fingers of white people who can't stop themselves from stroking Black people's hair. Racism is multi-faceted and nuanced, and many people aren't even aware that they have racist attitudes. In this book, you will read about critical race theory and racism as a problem of not being white, rejecting responsibility, and seldom admitting white privilege

  The Shocking Truth about Modern...

  The nature of warfare has drastically evolved over the centuries, and in the modern age, it has reached unprecedented levels of complexity, technology, and global impact. The battles fought today are not just confined to physical battlegrounds, but stretch across the cyber world, through the air with drones, and into the very fabric of political and social systems. Understanding the shocking truth about modern warfare means acknowledging how it has fundamentally changed and the far-reaching consequences it has on global security, human lives, and the future of warfare itself. 
    
  Unlike the traditional wars of the past, where armies fought on clearly defined battlefields, modern warfare is multifaceted. Conflicts today often involve a mix of conventional military forces, covert operations, cyber-attacks, and the use of advanced technologies like drones and artificial intelligence. The lines between combatants and non-combatants are increasingly blurred, and civilians are often the most affected by the consequences of war. The tools and tactics employed in modern warfare raise important questions about the ethics of conflict, the responsibility of nations, and the role of technology in shaping the future of armed engagement. 
    
  One of the most significant shifts in modern warfare is the central role technology now plays. The advancements in weapons systems, surveillance capabilities, and the rise of autonomous machinery have fundamentally altered how wars are fought. With the introduction of drones and cyber warfare, military strategies are less about physical dominance and more about information control, precision strikes, and disrupting an enemy's infrastructure without direct confrontation. This change has made warfare faster, more efficient, and, in many ways, less personal.
