Sinopse

York Minster History explores the near millennium-long story of York Minster, revealing its pivotal role in shaping the identity of York and England. The book examines the Minster not just as an architectural marvel with Gothic design, but also as a crucial religious center and a cornerstone of civic identity. Intriguingly, the Minster has continuously adapted to reflect the evolving values of its community, serving as both a symbol of continuity and change through English history, including periods of religious reformation. The book shows how the Minster's history is intertwined with the city's governance and royal events.

 
The book adopts a multidisciplinary approach, weaving together architectural, social, and religious history. Organized into three parts, the book first analyzes the Minster's architectural development, from construction techniques to restorations. It proceeds to explore its religious functions and influence on local practices, and concludes by showcasing the Minster’s civic roles and its relationship with the city's governance.

 
Drawing upon Minster archives, architectural surveys, and historical documents, the book offers a balanced account, acknowledging periods of decline alongside moments of glory, providing a comprehensive understanding of this iconic landmark.

More Than a Doll - How Creating...

Jodi Bondi Norgaard

Can gender stereotypes in childhood be more destructive than our culture perceives and stand in the way of gender equality? 
 
 
 
When Jodi Bondi Norgaard, an experienced entrepreneur, attempted to shake-up the toy industry with a sports doll that appeals to today's more athletic, adventurous girls, she came to realize the roadblocks to success weren't only reluctant toy buyers, but a patriarchal culture that perpetuates gender roles and sexism. More Than a Doll is about her mission to break gender stereotypes and challenge the status quo. 
 
 
 
Through illuminating testimonials, data, research, interviews, and cultural observations, listeners will come away with clear examples of the dangers of early gender stereotyping and how we continue to fail to see the harm. 
 
 
 
After all: "It's just a toy." "It's just a t-shirt." "It's just a show." 
 
 
 
Bondi Norgaard is sounding the siren that gender inequality doesn't begin in our teens, it begins the moment a child can hold a toy or book or watch a screen. The programing starts early, and the impact is lifelong.
