| history books for civil services: A Cultural History of Civil Examinations in Late Imperial China Benjamin A. Elman, 2000-03-22 In this multidimensional analysis, Benjamin A. Elman uses over a thousand newly available examination records from the Yuan, Ming, and Ch'ing dynasties, 1315-1904, to explore the social, political, and cultural dimensions of the civil examination system, one of the most important institutions in Chinese history. For over five hundred years, the most important positions within the dynastic government were usually filled through these difficult examinations, and every other year some one to two million people from all levels of society attempted them. Covering the late imperial system from its inception to its demise, Elman revises our previous understanding of how the system actually worked, including its political and cultural machinery, the unforeseen consequences when it was unceremoniously scrapped by modernist reformers, and its long-term historical legacy. He argues that the Ming-Ch'ing civil examinations from 1370 to 1904 represented a substantial break with T'ang-Sung dynasty literary examinations from 650 to 1250. Late imperial examinations also made Tao Learning, Neo-Confucian learning, the dynastic orthodoxy in official life and in literati culture. The intersections between elite social life, popular culture, and religion that are also considered reveal the full scope of the examination process throughout the late empire. |

| history books for civil services: 31 Days to Masculinity Hunter Drew, 2017-05-18 There has been a shift away from the development of masculinity in men. This has created generations of men who are repressing their masculine nature instead of expressing it. The result is depressed, sexless, self-loathing, unmotivated men simply existing in this world.After the Men of March campaign concluded this book was written out of sheer necessity. Hundreds of men participated in the program and improved their marriage, health, relationship with their children, and allowed them to experience the joy which only comes with authentic living.This 31 Day Program has been tried and tested to create the development of self and to relight that masculine flame which exists inside every man.

| history books for civil services: Civil Rights in America Christopher W. Schmidt, 2021 This book revolves around a deceptively simple question: What do we mean when we say that something is an issue of civil rights? Americans use the term all the time. We have government agencies dedicated to protecting civil rights. We know the heroic struggle for racial equality of the 1960s as the civil rights movement. We're now supposedly in a postcivil rights era - even as we're constantly on the watch for new civil rights movements. We identify certain people as civil rights icons. We declare public officials good or bad on civil rights. All of this assumes civil rights includes certain things and not others. But look up the term in a dictionary or legal reference work and you'll find a mix of abstractions and stilted legalisms, none of which captures the depth and complexity of meaning that is conveyed with its invocation and none of which hints at historic and ongoing struggles over its contents-- |
