  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.

  Humanity faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens all life on Earth. Desert Storm fighter pilot and NASA astronaut Ron Garan addresses this head-on in Floating in Darkness: A Journey of Evolution, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed first book, The Orbital Perspective: Lessons in Seeing the Big Picture from a Journey of 71 Million Miles. 
  Ron takes us on an extraordinary journey through outer space and inner space.

We witness Ron struggling with mortality while also basking in the sheer wonder and beauty of our world and beyond. 
  From this perspective, Ron maps out a viable path forward--to solve our crisis, we need a giant leap in humanity's evolutionary process. We must transcend individual and collective ego and embrace the true nature of our interdependence with this fragile planet and all life within its biosphere. Ron shows us how to discover our purpose, detoxify our divisive culture, and become a "white blood cell" in a growing immune response to heal our world.

  Olivia Chadwick—a young mother and self-critical personal trainer—first met insurance magnate Garnet Morris at 6 am on a winter morning in Saskatoon, Canada. Chadwick's task was to help prepare Morris for the grueling,100-mile Kananaskis relay, but she had reservations—about his coachability as well as her ability to reach him while juggling her own professional, familial and maternal struggles. 
  Through mutual hesitations, their seasons-long training schedule led to profound and unexpected conversations. As it turned out, the coach needed coaching on self-esteem and self-forgiveness—as well as someone to believe in her as she rebuilt her own strength. 
   In 17 Runs, co-authors Chadwick and Morris chart the course of their unique camaraderie around initial differences and toward mutual transformation. Through their challenging push-pull, they tell a story that’s a testament to the renewing power friendship can have on our lives, businesses and ability to love. 
  Full of entrepreneurial wisdom on overcoming limitations, 17 Runs is a self-development story like no other. By turns motivational, amusing and heart-breaking, it is a must-read for anyone who needs coaching on how to run toward a life they truly choose.

  Transform the way you feel by embedding more compassion, calm, and joy into your nervous system.Are you feeling dysregulated—anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down? Many of us are, and understandably so. Our bodies are constantly responding to cues of safety or danger, and we are powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles, collective events, and the ever-changing nature of this imperfect world. The question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm, openhearted connection with ourselves and others?In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety through the many ups and downs of life. Drawing from the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, she skillfully shows us how to become conscious navigators of our nervous system—inhabiting a comforting inner sanctuary where we can finally relax, connect, and breathe again. Each guided audio session offers valuable insights that invite us to:• Explore proven ways to tune into and befriend your nervous system, so you can feel safe, calm, and regulated, maybe for the first time in years.• Gain science-backed tools to move from “flight, fight, or freeze” survival mode into a sense of groundedness and emotional balance.• Discover what safety and “home” means to your nervous system and what sensations, cues, and practices can help you return there when you need it most.The beauty of this work is that it’s deeply personal. What brings safety to one person may not be the same for another. The invitation is to gently explore your own nervous system and notice, What helps me feel a little more anchored right now? With practice, you begin to recognize the pathways that bring you a felt sense of regulation. Instead of living at the mercy of stress and overwhelm, you’ll discover relief within the innate wisdom of your own body—guiding you back, again and again, to the steady ground of safety within.

  Radical Politics - On the Causes...

  The last twenty years have witnessed a proliferation of radical social and political movements around the world. From the International Women's Strike and Occupy, to #BlackLivesMatter and direct action against the climate emergency, a series of common questions have re-emerged as immediate and practical challenges. How should radical political movements relate to the state? What makes emancipatory politics fundamentally different from both technocratic and populist models of "politics as usual"? Which forms of organization are most likely to deepen and extend the dynamics that led to the emergence of these movements in the first place? 
   
   
   
  To investigate the goal, nature, method, and organizational forms of radical political engagement against the neoliberal consensus, Peter D. Thomas draws on the work of Antonio Gramsci, the Italian Communist Party leader and political theorist best known for his ideas about hegemony. Offering a new reading of Gramsci, Thomas contends that hegemony is a process of differentiation in which political culture is always changing, and always with the goal of moving toward expanded freedom. Over the course of the book, Thomas looks at the way in which various theorists have approached the dilemma of how to engage productively in radical politics and explains why hegemony is a method of doing politics rather than an end goal.
