Sinopsis

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).

    The Status Quo Bias - Preferring...

    The Status Quo Bias is a psychological phenomenon in which individuals have a preference for the current state of affairs, often resisting change even when the alternatives might be more beneficial. This bias manifests in various aspects of life, from personal decisions to larger social, political, and economic systems. People tend to prefer things staying the same because it feels safer and more familiar, even if change could lead to improved outcomes. It is a powerful force that influences how we make choices, how we interact with others, and even how societies evolve over time. 
    At its core, the Status Quo Bias can be seen as a form of cognitive inertia—our minds prefer to stick with what we know, as a way of minimizing discomfort and uncertainty. This preference for the familiar is deeply rooted in our psychological and evolutionary makeup. Throughout history, stability was often synonymous with survival. In ancient environments, maintaining the status quo, or sticking to known behaviors and environments, increased the chances of safety and survival. However, in the modern world, where innovation and change are often necessary for progress, this bias can become a hindrance to growth and adaptation. 
    The effects of Status Quo Bias can be seen across many facets of life. In personal decision-making, individuals may resist making changes to their routines, relationships, or careers, even when they recognize that change could improve their situation. In the workplace, organizations may be slow to implement new technologies or adopt innovative strategies due to a preference for maintaining established systems and practices. On a societal level, political and social systems are often resistant to change, with entrenched interests and historical norms reinforcing the status quo.

    Since the earliest days of the pandemic, care work has been thrust into the national spotlight. The notion of care seems simple enough. Care is about nurturing, feeding, nursing, assisting, and loving human beings. It is "the work that makes all other work possible." But as historian Premilla Nadasen argues, we have only begun to understand the massive role it plays in our lives and our economy. 
     
     
     
    Nadasen traces the rise of the care economy, from its roots in slavery, where there was no clear division between production and social reproduction, to the present care crisis, experienced acutely by more and more Americans. Today's care economy, Nadasen shows, is an institutionalized, hierarchical system in which some people's pain translates into other people's profit. 
     
     
     
    Yet this is also a story of resistance. Low-wage workers, immigrants, and women of color in movements from Wages for Housework and Welfare Rights to the Movement for Black Lives have continued to fight for and practice collective care. These groups help us envision how, given the challenges before us, we can create a caring world as part of a radical future.

    “The doctor can make the incision, but I’ll make the  decision.” — Shirley Temple Black“I have a streak of stubbornness and a loud voice.” — Rose Kushner“I believe that one must leave the world a better place than you found it.” — Evelyn Lauder 
     
    There was a time when women’s health was repressed and breast cancer wasn’t discussed, but Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder refused to be silenced. Their courage ignited a movement that changed the way society addresses breast cancer.When these “radical sisters” were diagnosed, they faced a medical world of myths, outdated protocols, and a shocking lack of research. Breast cancer awareness was absent, and treatment options were scarce. Yet, Shirley, Rose, and Evelyn—empowered by their diagnoses—became trailblazing advocates for breast cancer research, early detection, and women’s health. Their efforts opened the conversation and set the stage for a new era of breast cancer advocacy.Radical Sisters, researched by award-winning biographer Judith L. Pearson, chronicles their powerful journeys. Taking cues from the women’s health and AIDS movements, these inspirational women demanded a shift in how society viewed breast cancer: a cause worthy of public attention and action.More than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. They stand on the shoulders of these brave women, whose legacy has empowered generations to advocate for better healthcare, increased research, and greater awareness.
