Roseville is the largest city in Placer County, United States, in the Sacramento metropolitan area. As of 2018, the US Census Bureau estimated the city's population to be 139,117. Interstate 80 runs through Roseville and State Route 65 runs through part of the northern edge of the city; the settlement was a stage coach station called Griders. According to the Roseville Historical Society, in 1864 the Central Pacific Railroad tracks were constructed northeastward from Sacramento; the point where the tracks met the California Central Railroad line was named "Junction". Junction became known as Roseville. In 1909, three years after the Southern Pacific Railroad moved its facilities from Rocklin to Roseville, the town became an incorporated city. What followed was a period of expansion, with the community building more than 100 structures, including what was the largest ice manufacturing plant in the world; the city was a railroad town for decades, with the railroad employing up to 1,225 people by 1929, out of a population of only 6,425 people.
With the onset of World War II, the rail yards became busier than and the post-war building boom brought continued prosperity. However, the nature of the city changed in the 1950s. During the 1950s the railroad continued to expand and upgrade, converting its steam engine fleet to all diesel engines by the end of the decade. However, the railroads began falling in the shadow of air travel and the development of the national Interstate Highway System. Thus, although the railroad remained a major employer, the expansion of the city began branching out into other employment sectors. Another important change during this period was the Washington Boulevard railroad underpass construction in 1950. While this improved the ability of people to travel from one side of the tracks to the other, it meant that people were no longer traveling through the Roseville business district north of the tracks; the completion of Interstate 80 in 1956 shifted the population from downtown to what would become known as East Roseville.
The old downtown area slid into a gradual decline. The Roseville Yard of the Southern Pacific was the site of a major explosion and fire on 28 April 1973; the city saw steady population growth throughout the ensuing decades, as shopping centers, major retailers, homes were constructed throughout the city. The growth rate was modest until 1985. Between 1929 when the population was 6,425 people and 1985, the population grew by only 22,563 people. In 1985 the population stood at 28,988 people. Five years it was 44,685 people, by the year 2000 it was 74,234 people; some of this growth was fueled by the location of major employers, such as Hewlett Packard and NEC. The population as of 2014 was 126,956 people. In 1988, the city embarked on a multi-million dollar plan to redevelop 207 acres of land in the downtown core, revitalize historic areas, in decline. Projects included the Vernon Streetscape Project, Atlantic Street Beautification, Civic Plaza Complex, Downtown Vernon Street and Historic Old Town, Historic Old Town Streetscape project, Riverside Avenue Streetscape project, Oak Street Improvement Project, Washington Boulevard pedestrian underpass.
A new parking garage opened in 2007, the Roseville Arts! Blueline Gallery opened in 2008, a new Civic Center opened in 2013, the Vernon Street Town Square now features a small raised stage, a water spray for children, a venue for community events. According to the Roseville Civic Center, the city has a total area of 42.26 square miles, of which, 42.24 square miles of it is land and 0.002 square miles of it is water. Several streams flow through Roseville, including Dry Creek, Linda Creek, Secret Ravine and Cirby Creek.

Manliness is a book by Harvey C. Mansfield first published by Yale University Press in 2006. Mansfield is a professor of government at Harvard University. In this book, he defines manliness as "confidence in a situation of risk" and suggests this quality is undervalued in Western society, he suggests the quality is more common in men than in women, but doesn't exclude women, for example he names Margaret Thatcher. He suggests the quality is "good and bad", not all good, but not all bad, his main point is that gender neutral ideology denies both the reality of sex-specific qualities, the valuable components of these, to the detriment of society. Mansfield attributes the rise of gender neutral ideology firstly to Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx and Jean-Paul Sartre, to feminists who repackaged the ideas as part of a political program, he names Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer. Today the word manliness seems quaint and obsolete. We are in the process of making the English language gender-neutral, manliness, the quality of one gender, or rather, of one sex, seems to describe the essence of the enemy we are attacking, the evil we are eradicating.
-Harvey Mansfield, Manliness Mansfield evaluates the concept of manliness as it has been expressed over the course of Western civilization, considers its virtues. As Mansfield stated to NPR's Tom Ashbrook, "Some people say. Others say it does exist and it's bad. I say it exists and it's good... and bad."Drawing on classical philosophy and science, Mansfield argues that manliness is a virtue associated with the male sex, preferable to widespread institutional gender-neutral ideology. Beginning with modern scientific discoveries, Mansfield appropriates them for insights on how these innate biological realities might exert an influence on gender identity and gender role preferences. Mansfield proceeds to literature, drawing on Homer, Rudyard Kipling, Hemingway to support his thesis that manliness has been a perpetual component of the male psyche and behavior. Mansfield offers an analysis of the historical forces in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, singling out Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, Germaine Greer as the key writers to have influenced, what he considers to be, the dismantling of manliness.
These writers shared two common hypotheses they derived from earlier writers: from Marx they drew the theory of economic exploitation, from Nietzsche their flirtations with nihilism. Mansfield turns to Aristotle as the archetypal expounder of manliness to identify the quality of "philosophical courage," which Mansfield concludes is the ideal understanding of manliness.
