Meritocracy and Its Discontentsinvestigates the wider social, political, religious, and economic dimensions of the Gaokao, China's national college entrance exam, as well as the complications that arise from its existence. Each year, some nine million high school seniors in China take the Gaokao, which determines college admission and provides a direct but difficult route to an urban lifestyle for China's hundreds of millions of rural residents. But with college graduates struggling to find good jobs, some are questioning the exam's legitimacy—and, by extension, the fairness of Chinese society. Chronicling the experiences of underprivileged youth, Zachary M. Howlett's research illuminates how people remain captivated by the exam because they regard it as fateful—an event both consequential and undetermined. He finds that the exam enables people both to rebel against the social hierarchy and to achieve recognition within it.
In Meritocracy and Its Discontents, Howlett contends that the Gaokao serves as a pivotal rite of passage in which people strive to personify cultural virtues such as diligence, composure, filial devotion, and divine favor.

Why do we have sex education? For whom does it exist, and who is it against? This book explores these questions, ultimately calling into question the very existence of sex education itself. The analysis is centred on the marginalised lives of sex workers. This focus allows us to see sex education and sex work in a new light and provides insights into the implications of sex education in public schools and teacher education. By considering the relationship between sex education and sex work, Caitlin Howlett reveals the way in which sex education exists as a form of state violence, and continues to maintain close ties to sexism, racism, colonialism, and capitalism. Drawing on Foucauldian genealogy, feminist history, epistemology, post-humanism, and queer of color critique, Howlett calls for an end to sex education as a federally funded project and argues for new pedagogical approaches to educating about sex, gender, and sexuality in schools.

Or do you want to really understand what is going on in your body so you can obtain your optimum health and achieve your dreams?
If you have considered any of these questions before, it is time you learned about the power of combining Keto Diet and Intermittent Fasting (IF).
Scientific research and personal stories have been showing great health benefits of adopting Keto Diet and IF, respectively, for decades now.
With shared goals and methods of weight loss with Keto Diet and IF, there is even more success to be found when combining what to eat with a plan of when to eat.
Working hand in hand, Keto Diet amplifies what happens during fasting periods of IF.
While there are many books, articles, and apps out there that promise weight loss results, this guide goes beyond food restrictions so you can tailor all parts of your life to losing weight and finding your healthiest self.
Maybe starting a diet is the toughest part for you.
But sometimes, the hardest part of a new diet isn't the motivation to stick to it; it's actually the logistics of making it work with your life and commitments.
This guide provides that holistic approach to Keto Diet and IF you need, rooted in scientific evidence.
Included in the research is the 2015 study done by Paoli, A. et al. entitled "Ketosis, ketogenic diet and food intake control: a complex relationship," published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, revealing that the timing of eating is as important to ketogenesis as what is consumed.
Not only a list of foods to eat, it shares recipes, schedules, and workarounds, so that with a little planning, your chances of seeing the results will greatly increase.
In this guide, you will find:
How to practically adjust your life to make the Keto Diet and IF work for you so you won't even realize you're on a diet anymore
The essential tool you will need for your moments of weakness (temptations, cravings, family get- togethers)
How a little housecleaning will guarantee your weight loss success
What to do once you have shed the weight--can you loosen up your diet a little bit?
10-day example schedule and meal plan so you don't need to take tons of time researching and planning, undermining your success from day one
The crucial steps you can take to eliminate afternoon fogginess, without relying on that fifth cup of coffee
Who should stay away from this combination or modify it and why, helping you to find what works best for you
How to "cheat" without completely ruining all the great work you've done
This guide assists you in making this diet plan work, no matter your schedule or lifestyle--because there is never one easy fix to making real change.
Get ready to understand and control exactly what is happening in your body, so that you will have power over your temptations and cravings.
