This book explains the history of bows and arrows and crossbows. Through the historical facts of China, Europe and America, we can see the corresponding impact that bows and arrows, an ancient and culturally significant artifact, have had on the entire human history. With the development of history, its shape continues to change, and its meaning continues to derive, allowing us to see the continuous integration and changes of human culture.

This book reminds me of the time when I neglected my studies. If I could read it earlier, maybe I could study harder. The book's narration about the history of human civilization is very interesting. The invention and evolution of the wheel are closely related to our lives. Moreover, seeing the exchanges and collisions between different countries and civilizations also reminds me of the current world. I will recommend this book to my friends so that they can also be inspired by it.

I Want to See Steel and Blood, War, Endless War!

I want to read a book similar to "Warhammer 40k: Rise of the Second Empire". Humanity first, let the stars shine in civilization again! Admit it, you just can't stand those weird aliens. They are different from us.
