Young Sheldon
From the NYT bestselling author of the Big Bang Theory oral history comes an in-depth and thoroughly reported exploration of BBT spinoff Young Sheldon, with big revelations about the show, behind-the-scenes stories from the cast and crew, and all the heart that makes the show itself such a beloved fan-favorite. Starting as a spinoff of the immensely popular Big Bang Theory, the spinoff show Young Sheldon has taken on a life of its own. Its legions of fans were deeply invested in the storylines of their favorite characters from Big Bang, as well as new characters played by breakout television stars. In YOUNG SHELDON, bestselling author and journalist Jessica Radloff will dive into everything that makes the show great, from the way the cast and crew became a family to the deep subjects the show explored, alongside all of the canon-rewriting controversies and cancellation heartbreak. Jessica will explore a mix of memorable episodes (examples include the pilot, which Jon Favreau directed; Missy and George’s dress-up visit to Red Lobster; Georgie telling his parents he was going to be a dad at 17; the tornado episode; George’s death; the finale, and Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik’s return) and tell-alls on casting, behind-the-scenes angst, potentially problematic storylines and rewriting Big Bang cannon, the rise to fame and the involvement of Iain, Raegan and Montana’s parents, the chaos and hurt following the end of the show and the start of the Georgie & Mandy spinoff, and more.

Gilbert Sheldon
The place of Gilbert Sheldon in seventeenth century history and his influence upon the events of the period have long presented a tantalizing problem. A historian exploring the archives of the time cannot help but be impressed by the ubiquitous appearances of the archbishop. Yet the frequent references too often provide little detail, so that what emerges is a wraith-like picture of the man and a very uncertain account of his activities. As a result it is difficult to know what to think of Sheldon. He has been termed a "Laudian," but Mathew Wren, Laud's loyal assistant and sharer of his imprisonment, was cempletely baffled by the initials "G. Sh." which appeared in a letter sent to him in the early 1650's. Also labeled a staunch Tory and a firm believer in the institution of monarchy, Shelden showed no compunction whatever about lecturing the king on his duties or in boldly epposing the royal wishes when his lectures were ignored. He has been described as a man of "iron character," yet he was invariably soft-spoken and gentle to those in his immediate presence. He is pictured as a ruthless persecutor, but he often offered assistance, material and otherwise, to those who had been his opponents. Supposedly he was avaricious, yet the record suggests that during the Interregnum he impoverished himself to assist needy friends and church acquain tances, seme of whem he barely knew.
