Sinopsis

"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.

Lyndon Baines Johnson

Robert Dallek

The definitive short biography of President Lyndon Baines Johnson, based on Robert Dallek's award-winning biographies.Robert Dallek is among the country's most prolific and authoritative presidential biographers. Lyndon Johnson is arguably the president to whom he has devoted his most intensive archival research. This short biography, an adaptation of his two-volume magisterial biography, traces this presidential life from the Texas Hill Country to the House and Senate to the White House. It narrates his passage of a range of crucial legislation, from Medicare and environmental protection to the most significant advances in civil rights for black Americans ever achieved, as well as his continuation of the war in Vietnam. This brief work conveys Johnson as a man of towering intensity and anguished insecurity, of grandiose ambition and grave self-doubt, a man who was brilliant, crude, intimidating, compassionate, overbearing, driven: "A tornado in pants."This volume is being timed to coordinate with the fiftieth anniversary of Johnson's death.

Flannery O'Connor's Why Do the...

Jessica Hooten Wilson

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.

St Paul Murder & Mayhem

Ron de Beaulieu

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.

Great Conquerors - Biographies...

Kelly Mass

This is a compilation of 3 different titles, which are about the following topics:
1: The Greek general and king, Alexander the Great, is a name you might have heard before. Although his historical journey varies greatly from the stories and rumors about him, he did accomplish many victories in Asia and Europe in his conquest to rule the world.
In this guide, we will go over his appearance, his character, his many battles, his clever military strategies, and the regions he conquered. His vast empire stretched farther than much else had before his time. But eventually, it became divided, and the throne was being fought over. This was one of the things that shows us how much of a difference he made as a ruler in his empire.
2: Undoubtedly, Napoleon, the French revolutionist and emperor has left his mark on European history. His vast empire stretched all over the continent, his unique image and posture have been emulated by many, and his infamous defeat in Russia was a precursor of the defeat Hitler experienced for similar reasons.
When we take a time machine to the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, how can we better understand the culture and ideas of those times? How did someone from the relatively tiny island of Corsica become such an iconic figure in history?
3: William the First, who was also called William the Conqueror and in some cases William the Bastard, was the first Norman emperor of England, ruling from 1066 till his death in 1087. Around this time, many wars and battles were waged over the kingdom and distribution of territories in Europe. France, the Anglo-Saxons, and Scandinavian troops were engaged in raids, struggles, and battles to claim their lands and gains.
