Summary

"Exploring Chinese Society and Culture" delves into the diverse and complex themes of modern China. We examine the country's social and economic changes, its growing global influence, and the various perspectives on China's development and governance.
Our compendium covers topics such as social welfare, gender, ethnicity, and the role of the Communist Party and the State. We provide detailed accounts of social changes, from causal processes to the political dynamics of right-wing populism and the causes of major technological disasters.
Since the founding of the Communist Party in 1921, China's ethnic relations have continuously evolved. We discuss the impact of ethnic minorities and intra-ethnic relations on the nation. We also explore the framework of urban and rural society in transitional China, examining how family background affects children's academic achievement.
Additional chapters focus on cultural sociology, market disputes, government intervention, and the measurement invariance across gender and age among Chinese adolescents. We also investigate the motivations and forms of practicing CSR in art and culture in China, highlighting the driving factors behind corporate engagement in cultural initiatives.
Available since: 01/03/2025.

Even when it is accepted, recognised and known not many people seem to know what to DO ABOUT IT to heal it… The fact is being in a relationship with a narcissist over a long period of time has long lasting traumatic effects that can be extremely catastrophic to the person suffering them.

    Christianity Today 2025 Award of Merit (Culture, Poetry, and the Arts) 
 
"Wilson does a great service in resurrecting one of O'Connor's lesser-known works."--Publishers Weekly 
 
When celebrated American novelist and short story writer Flannery O'Connor died at the age of thirty-nine in 1964, she left behind an unfinished third novel titled Why Do the Heathen Rage? Scholarly experts uncovered and studied the material, deeming it unpublishable. It stayed that way for more than fifty years. 
 
Until now. 
 
For the past ten-plus years, award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson has explored the 378 pages of typed and handwritten material of the novel--transcribing pages, organizing them into scenes, and compiling everything to provide a glimpse into what O'Connor might have planned to publish. 
 
This book is the result of Hooten Wilson's work. In it, she introduces O'Connor's novel to the public for the first time and imagines themes and directions O'Connor's work might have taken. Including illustrations and an afterword from noted artist Steve Prince (One Fish Studio), the book unveils scenes that are both funny and thought-provoking, ultimately revealing that we have much to learn from what O'Connor left behind.

    A fledgling community in the midst of stunning natural scenes, the St. Paul of yesteryear had a well-earned reputation for beauty and danger. Whiskey made the river city a byword for peril. Men brawled over small offenses and killed one another with near impunity. As crime flourished beyond the power of police control, vigilantes patrolled the streets. Irresponsible speculation and white-collar crime wrecked the local economy, devastating families and driving thousands out of town. The remaining St. Paulites rebuilt their community and economy, stimulating immigration, but more people meant more crime. In the 1870s, vice and violence spiraled into the Bloody Fall of '74, and St. Paul regained its reputation as a "dead tough" town. Historian Ron de Beaulieu reveals the past travails of life in this turbulent city.

    This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics: 
1: You may have heard about him: Attila the Hun. Let's discover who this individual actually was and why he has such a bad track record of being a callous, aggressive conqueror in the first millennium after Christ. Attila the Hun was the ruler of the Huns from the year 434 till his death in the month of March in the year 453. Also, he was the leader of a tribal realm which consisted mainly of Huns, Ostrogoths, Alans and Bulgars, to name a few, in Central Europe and in Eastern Europe. 
In this guide, you will learn more about the wars, his enemies, the battles around Rome, his life, his death, and his legacy. Some of the information about his has been falsely attributed to certain details because of how much has been lost in historical records, but we can still get a slightly accurate image of who he was, what he did, and why he has become such an infamous figure. 
2: Genghis Khan was the Mongol emperor who has expanded his region to the biggest empire on the face of the earth ever. His empire stretched from East Asia all the way to various European countries, the Middle East, and beyond. 
  
What made Genghis Khan so successful? 
  
Was he a brute, rapist, and pillaging dictator, or did he have a tolerant side as well? 
  
How do the people in Mongolia see him, or the people in China? 
  
All o these questions and more will be answered in this comprehensive overview of the history of Genghis Khan. You will learn more about his early life, his relationships, marriage, families and children, his attacks, his unification of the Mongolian Federations, his death, succession, and the continuing of the Mongolian Empire after his death.
