Province and Politics in Late Imperial China Viceregal Government in Szechwan 1898-1911

Province and Politics in Late Imperial China Viceregal Government in Szechwan 1898-1911

First Published in 1984 Province and Politics in Late Imperial China presents analysis of one of the regional governments of China the administration of the Szechwan governor-general from its apogee at the end of the nineteenth century to its nadir in the revolution of 1911. The Szechwan governor – general not only ruled the one province of Szechwan but also exercised significant powers in Kweichow the Tibetan borderlands and parts of Yunnan and Hupei as well as playing a major role in imperial politics. He was therefore a regional and not simply a provincial figure while Szechwan was characteristic of the system of Chinese regions. This book seeks to show that the main threat to the dominance of the Szechwan governors – general came from their own modernizing activities; viceregal government broke down in the attempt to use traditional means to modern ends. In microcosm therefore Szechwan displays the pattern in both politics and ecology that was one of disruptive modernization in China. This book is an interesting read for scholars of Chinese history. | Province and Politics in Late Imperial China Viceregal Government in Szechwan 1898-1911

Interpreting Landscapes Geologies Topographies Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3

Interpreting Landscapes Geologies Topographies Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3

This book takes a new approach to writing about the past. Instead of studying the prehistory of Britain from Mesolithic to Iron Age times in terms of periods or artifact classifications Tilley examines it through the lens of their geology and landscapes asserting the fundamental significance of the bones of the land in the process of human occupation over the long durée. Granite uplands rolling chalk downlands sandstone moorlands and pebbled hilltops each create their own potentialities and symbolic resources for human settlement and require forms of social engagement. Taking his findings from years of phenomenological fieldwork experiencing different landscapes with all senses and from many angles Tilley creates a saturated and historically imaginative account of the landscapes of southern England and the people who inhabited them. This work is also a key theoretical statement about the importance of landscapes for human settlement. | Interpreting Landscapes Geologies Topographies Identities; Explorations in Landscape Phenomenology 3

Best Practices in Professional Learning and Teacher Preparation Professional Development for Teachers of the Gifted in the Content Areas: Vol. 3

Best Practices in Professional Learning and Teacher Preparation Professional Development for Teachers of the Gifted in the Content Areas: Vol. 3

Several states offer additional teacher preparation programs by providing either an endorsement or certification in the field but these are often pursued by teachers specifically enrolled in gifted coursework rather than in general education programs.

This three-book series acknowledges this need and provides specific strategies for professional development in a variety of settings using various methods. Drawing on both literature in the field and research-based best practices in professional learning this series provides the reader with a foundation for designing and implementing effective professional development experiences for educators working with gifted learners. This volume: Provides strategies and curricular materials/resources for working with gifted learners in specific content areas (i. e. mathematics science social studies literacy languages and the arts). Discusses the importance of training teachers to use high-quality curriculum. Builds off of research on talent development cultural awareness and social justice in education. Details instructional strategies that are appropriate for challenging gifted learners including developing growth mindset.

Graffiti in Antiquity

Graffiti in Antiquity

Ancient graffiti - hundreds of thousands of informal ephemeral texts spanning millennia - offer a patchwork of fragmentary conversations in a variety of languages spread across the Mediterranean world. Cut painted inked or traced in charcoal the surviving graffiti present a layer of lived experience in the ancient world unavailable from other sources. Graffiti in Antiquity reveals how and why the inhabitants of Greece and Rome - men and women and free and enslaved - formulated written and visual messages about themselves and the world around them as graffiti. The sources - drawn from 800 BCE to 600 CE - are examined both within their individual historical cultural and archaeological contexts and thematically allowing for an exploration of social identity in the urban society of the ancient world. An analysis of one of the most lively and engaged forms of personal communication and protest Graffiti in Antiquity introduces a new way of reading sociocultural relationships among ordinary people living in the ancient world.

Demographic Developments in China

Demographic Developments in China

This book assesses current developments in China’s demography and discusses the changes which should be implemented to bring policy into line with the current demographic situation. It argues that population planning which was introduced in the early years of the People’s Republic alongside economic planning including the one child policy is no longer appropriate. It considers the results of the 2010 census which showed the very significant shifts that are occurring including a declining rate of population growth ongoing growth of the number of people in the floating population an increasingly imbalanced sex ratio among newborn children and ongoing ageing of the population. Besides discussing population planning policy the book also examines how policies in the fields of education health gender relations child development in rural areas and polices for the elderly and families should be adjusted to accommodate demographic developments. | Demographic Developments in China

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

This book studies the reactions by external actors including the European Union to the events unfolding in the Arab world beginning in December 2010. In particular contributors look at external actors' attempts to balance their desire for stability with their normative principles toward human rights and democracy. The book compares the action (and inaction) of the EU with other international and regional players including the United States Russia Turkey and Israel and assesses the response of these actors to the Arabellions’ events analysing changes in their approaches to the Arab region. The contributions to this book answer three questions: (1) How have external actors assessed the ‘Arabellions’ and what role did they see for themselves in this context? (2) Which goals and instruments did external actors pursue toward the MENA region? In particular how did they deal with conflicting goals such as support for human rights and democracy on the one hand and concerns about security and stability on the other? (3) How can we explain the varying responses of external actors to the Arabellions? This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration. | Responses to the ‘Arabellions’ The EU in Comparative Perspective

Letters Literacy and Literature in Byzantium

Letters Literacy and Literature in Byzantium

These studies look at general problems of reading Byzantine literature at literacy practices and the literary process but also at individual texts. The past thirty years have seen a revolution in the way Byzantine literature has been viewed: no longer is it considered a decadent form of classical literature or a turgid precursor of modern Greek literature. There are still prejudices to overcome: that there was no literary public or that Byzantium had no drama or humour but Byzantine texts are now read as literature in the social context of literacy and book culture. One genre is treated here more fully: the letter (Derrida said that letters represent all literature). In these studies epistolography is examined from the point of view of genre of originality of communication and as evidence for political history. Other genres touched on include the novel historiography parainesis panegyric and hagiography. The section on literary process includes essays on genre patronage and rhetoric and the section on literacy practices deals with both writing and reading. The collection includes one unpublished lecture which acts as introduction and additional notes and comments. | Letters Literacy and Literature in Byzantium
