China's 1911-12 Revolution, which overthrew a 2000-year succession of dynasties, is thought of primarily as a change in governmental style, from imperial to republican, traditional to modern. But given that the dynasty that was overthrown--the Qing--was that of a minority ethnic group that had ruled China's Han majority for nearly three centuries, and that the revolutionaries were overwhelmingly Han, to what extent was the revolution not only anti-monarchical, but also anti-Manchu?
Edward Rhoads explores this provocative and complicated question in Manchus and Han, analyzing the evolution of the Manchus from a hereditary military caste (the "banner people") to a distinct ethnic group and then detailing the interplay and dialogue between the Manchu court and Han reformers that culminated in the dramatic changes of the early 20th century.
Until now, many scholars have assumed that the Manchus had been assimilated into Han culture long before the 1911 Revolution and were no longer separate and distinguishable. But Rhoads demonstrates that in many ways Manchus remained an alien, privileged, and distinct group. Manchus and Han is a pathbreaking study that will forever change the way historians of China view the events leading to the fall of the Qing dynasty. Likewise, it will clarify for ethnologists the unique origin of the Manchus as an occupational caste and their shifting relationship with the Han, from border people to rulers to ruled.

Описание: This book offers a clear-eyed perspective on the potential and peril of this new form of education.
What are the odds of a marriage lasting 60 years? Experts calculate that only 1 in 600,000 marriages will last 60 years. And .001 per 1,000 will last 70 years. It is our goal to break the world's record of 90 years or die happy trying. That's another 30 years ... how in our world can you live that long?
We believe we are our reality, due to our lifestyle, and everyone we meet wants to know "what's your secret for being married 60 years looking as good as you two look and how can we get what you've got"? With tongue in cheek, I get a laugh, when I say its 'Sex, Kids and Rock-N-Roll." But in essence, it's a give and take loyal partnership and we have defied the conventional aging wisdom ... which is to retire at 55, 60 or 65 and start the dying process. We, however, in our early seventies, acquired three nursing homes then sold them in our late seventies and started a new career ... co-writing this book about how our vows formed a lasting happy relationship, and reformed them if needed, to stay happily married together forever after...

Drug overdoses continue to rise at an alarming rate throughout the U.S., resulting in 72,000 deaths last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The response, tragically, has been to charge full-speed ahead with "solutions" that have already, and consistently, failed.
In this book, Stanton Peele, a prominent addiction expert, and Zach Rhoads, a child behavior interventionist and counselor, show that defining addiction as a "disease" makes recovery much more difficult, and that twelve-step programs fail for most participants.
But they don't just criticize. They provide a solid, research-and-experience-based alternative approach that has proven to be successful in overcoming the scourges of suicide, depression, addiction, and drug-related deaths.
The authors show that maturing out of addiction and childhood behavioral problems is a normal process--unless people are sidetracked by the widespread and commonplace therapies that undercut natural growth and self-confidence.
They present extensive research data about natural recovery and case studies of fully recovered adults and of children with various conditions, for a developmental model of addiction that has been proven to help those who are suffering. Much of the focus is on childhood addiction, but their conclusions and methods are helpful for people of all ages.
Their work forms the basis for the Life Process Program, a worldwide online parenting and addiction coaching service.

He possessed as keen an appreciation of genuine humor as any one I have ever known, and his laugh was ready, hearty, and most infectious; This taste never was lost, and in later years, when serious thought and the continued sight of suffering became Oppressive, he would seek relief in some of the humorous works of Holmes or Lowell, both of whom were great favorites with him.
