Summary

Samuel Pepys' "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete 1661 N.S" offers a vivid and intimate portrait of life in 17th-century England, eloquently capturing the personal and public upheavals of the time. Written in a detailed, engaging style, the diary entries reflect Pepys' astute observations of contemporary events, ranging from the Great Plague to the Great Fire of London. The narrative unfolds in a blend of formal and colloquial language, intertwining personal reflections with historical commentary, making it a vital primary source for understanding the Restoration period. Samuel Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, kept his diary from 1660 to 1669, motivated by a desire to document his life and witness the significant transformations in England. His background in government and society propelled him into the heart of historical events, as he mingled with prominent figures of his time, illuminating the complexities of the era's politics, culture, and daily life. Pepys' meticulousness and candidness allow readers to glimpse his private thoughts and experiences amidst the larger societal shifts. This work is highly recommended for anyone interested in historical literature, as it transcends mere documentation to provide an engaging narrative that resonates with contemporary readers. Pepys' diary is not only a rich resource for historians but also an entertaining read that offers timeless insights into human nature and societal change.

    The story of these beloved bricks and the people who built an empire with them.   From its inception in the early 1930s right up until today, the LEGO Group’s history is as colorful as the toys it makes. Few other playthings share the LEGO brand’s creative spirit, educational benefits, resilience, quality, and universal appeal. This history charts the birth of the LEGO Group from the workshop of a Danish carpenter and its steady growth as a small, family-run toy manufacturer to its current position as a market-leading, award-winning brand. The company’s growing catalogue of products—including the earliest wooden toys, plastic bricks, play themes and other building systems such as DUPLO, Technic, and MINDSTORMS—are chronicled in detail, alongside the manufacturing process, LEGOLAND parks, licensed toys, and computer games.   Learn all about how LEGO pulled itself out of an economic crisis and embraced technology to make building blocks relevant to twenty-first century children, and discover the vibrant fan community of kids and adults whose conventions, websites, and artwork keep the LEGO spirit alive. Building a History will have you reminiscing about old Classic Space sets, rummaging through the attic for forgotten minifigure friends, and playing with whatever LEGO bricks you can get your hands on (even if it means sharing with your kids).

    Many people take it for granted: Evangelicals are Republican, Democrats aren't religious, and moderate Christians may as well not exist. But it wasn't always this way. Those who grew up evangelical in the 1980s were just as likely to sit next to a Democrat as a Republican at church. What happened in the decades that followed?Data scientist Ryan Burge demystifies the recent polarization of American pews, helping listeners understand why the religious landscape has changed so much in the last fifty years and how this divide impacts every aspect of society. Burge argues that Americans prioritized their political parties over their denominations amid the culture wars. As many churches embraced conservative politics, moderate and liberal Christians left the church in droves.Yet Burge shows us that returning to church may be just what America needs. Many Americans want to be people of faith and believe deeply in the principles of religion. Churches provide support systems for needy families. And statistically, churchgoers tend to be more tolerant and have better mental health than Americans who don't attend church. Blending personal narrative and carefully presented data, Burge urges listeners to rebuild faith communities that can reach across the aisle.
