Eliot's 60th anniversary edition, the pioneering work of the New Criticism in British and American literature; a must-read document for English literary theory and writing courses; subverting "tradition" with tradition and defending individuality with impersonality. What is tradition? How should poets, or artists, view the relationship between their creations and tradition? Eliot gave a conclusive conclusion in his famous article "Tradition and Individual Talent": Tradition is not a blind or timid adherence to the successful methods of the previous generation, but something with a much broader significance. It contains historical consciousness and is not inherited. To obtain it requires a lot of labor. This work was the foundation of New Criticism and directly influenced the birth of later critical classics such as Bloom's "The Anxiety of Influence" and Leavis's "The Great Tradition". The "impersonality" theory mentioned in the article - poetry is not the release of emotion, but the escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but the escape from personality. It has also become a crucial theory in modern literature, and has had a huge impact on Roland Barthes's "The Author is Dead" and Michel Foucault's "What is the Author". In addition to this article that provides a comprehensive and holistic reflection on literature, the collection of the same name "Tradition and Individual Talent" also includes Eliot's evaluation and appreciation of specific poets, focusing on the discussion and analysis of the literary creation of the Elizabethan era. As a poet who is highly conscious of the nature and process of poetry creation, Eliot's creation and his criticism are closely linked. This anthology allows us to better appreciate his creations through his criticism, and at the same time, it also helps us better understand the nature of literature.

The well-known social trend observer Kenichi Ohmae's predictions are completely accurate. It is a best-selling topic book that spreads from East Asia to the world; low birth rate, super aging, consumption reduction... The whole world is becoming a "low desire society", how to face the decline of beauty? When the "low desire society" finally becomes today's unchanging reality, how can the government and the people revive it? "Low Desire Society" is a best-selling social observation masterpiece published in 2018 by the famous Japanese management scientist and "Mr. Strategy" Kenichi Ohmae. The book focuses on Japan's current socio-economic status and characteristics, and summarizes social problems that other mature countries have not yet encountered into one word, "low desire society" - population decline, super aging, and loss of upper class. There are more and more young people with ambition and desire; citizens hold a large amount of financial assets, and companies have high internal reserves, but they fail to use funds effectively. Whether it is monetary easing policy or public investment, it cannot improve consumer confidence, and money-spreading policies cannot revitalize the economy... Faced with the problem of a "low desire society", even if stocks continue to rise, it is not a happy time. However, Ohmae Kenichi also pointed out that he is not trying to blame young people for having low desires, because this tendency to have no desires and desires is also a reasonable choice in the context of the times. What must be considered is how citizens and businesses should respond in a "low desire society". The "low desire" young group has a serious impact on enterprises, and subsequent generations may also have similar values. Companies must truly analyze their thoughts and behaviors, accurately grasp their values, and re-formulate various strategies and business models. In response to problems such as low desire, insufficient manpower, and a sluggish economy, "Low Desire Society" cites the practices of countries with similar precedents in Europe and the United States and puts forward a series of corresponding strategic suggestions, such as urban redevelopment, how to use idle land, improvement of immigration policies, optimization of supporting construction of tourist destinations, stimulating consumption of "mature adults", transformation of talent education, etc. The observations and countermeasures made in "Low Desire Society" are very helpful for readers to understand Japan's socio-economic status and development, and also serve as a warning. At the same time, based on the above observations and the understanding and sense of crisis that "in the 21st century, the key to achieving a career is to cultivate and possess top talents," Ohmae put forward the concept of "education with global aspirations" for parents and young people, which is also very enlightening for domestic readers.

For hundreds of years, the world has been dominated by the West, and people have been arguing about why the West has so much power. If civilization determines all this, how should civilization be defined and how should it be measured? More importantly, how will civilization determine the direction of the world in the 21st century? This book is written to answer these questions. In this book, world-renowned historian Ian Morris presents the analysis that underpins the claims of How Long Will the West Dominate? He spanned the history of human civilization for 16,000 years and used a series of reliable archaeological evidence, historical data, and modern social data to design a "social development index" that can quantify civilization. He scored Eastern and Western civilizations in different times and spaces in terms of energy acquisition, social organization capabilities, war capabilities, and information technology. He quantitatively described many factors that determine economic and social development trends, so as to pursue the past, present, and future of world civilization. At the end of the book, Morris's data and stories present us with a surprising prediction: the social development of the East will catch up with the West by 2103. Whether for readers who are concerned about the development of contemporary China or the trajectory of tomorrow's world, the analytical ideas and predictions of this book will become a powerful guide to the real future.

"British History III: The Fate of the Empire (1776-2000)" starts from the 1870s. How can one allow oneself to be free from too many areas of the world. A country that did not trust its own military became a military power. With the help of ambition, slaves, and brave explorers, Britain built a powerful empire and planted its flag across the globe. It controlled the colonies through its addictive trade in tea, sugar and coffee. The British Empire promised peace, stability and prosperity. But both Ireland and India were similarly plagued by violence and famine. At the end of the book, Simon Schama falls into meditation on the past history of Britain in the 20th century. It explores Britain's fate in the two world wars and the depressing and uneasy post-war peace.

A History of Britain I: At the Edge of the World? (3000BC-AD1603)" covers over 1,500 years of British history, from the first Roman invasion to the extraordinary reign of Queen Elizabeth. The perspective of this book starts from the birth of civilization to the Norman Conquest, from the religious wars, the dark Middle Ages to the national turmoil of Henry II; the outbreak of the Black Death, which almost destroyed half of the population of Europe, the intricate conflicts of the Tudor Dynasty, and the conflict between Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots constitute the main content of this volume. Through the story itself, a network of interrelated themes is explored - why a nation-state was formed, the struggle between the oppressors and the oppressed, and the internal driving forces of history are all evident during the period.

In 1853, Tsar Nicholas I invaded the Danube Principalities that are now Romania due to religious disputes. Subsequently... The Crimean War, which lasted for 18 months, caused huge human losses, completely rewritten the political landscape of Europe, and profoundly affected the modernization processes of Russia and Turkey. Figgis quotes extensively from Russian, French, British, and Ottoman Empire documents to comprehensively demonstrate how nationalist sentiments, imperial power struggles, and religious conflicts affected countries' involvement in the war. From kings and ministers, reporters and writers reporting on the war, to officers and soldiers on the battlefield, and women and children in the siege, Figes not only restores the panoramic view of the war from multiple perspectives, but also provides a new entrance for today's understanding of the "Eastern Question" in the 19th and 20th centuries, the relationship between Christians and Muslims in the Black Sea region, and the world rift between Russia and the West.
