"On Sea Power" is Alfred Thayer Mahan's work on the history of naval warfare and the theory of sea power. In this book, Mahan epoch-makingly proposed the concept of "sea power", elevating the control of the ocean to a strategic level that determines the rise and fall of a country. He believed that sea power and the rise and fall of a country share weal and woe, and maritime interests were crucial to the strength of a country. At the same time, he advocated vigorously developing the navy, developing the merchant fleet, developing maritime trade, and building naval bases and commercial ports. This book interprets the view of "sea power supremacy" from six perspectives: geographical location, natural structure, national territory, population, national characteristics, and government nature. As a masterpiece of sea power, this book is also literary. It objectively and vividly reproduces the process of previous naval battles, expresses praise for those outstanding naval generals without revealing anything, and elaborates on the role of sea power in the development of history, especially the development of world history from the geographical discovery in 1660 to the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783. It also discusses some necessary factors for sea power. The book attracted attention as soon as it was published. The United States, Japan, Germany, the former Soviet Union and other countries have successively used it as a guide for formulating national development strategies. Since Mahan's death, two world wars and changes in the world's strategic pattern have fully verified the view of sea power theory.

"The Age of Innocence" is the representative work of the famous American writer Edith Wharton, which won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize. The main plot of the book takes place in the upper class society of New York in the late 1870s and early 1880s. That was where Wharton spent her childhood and youth, where she grew up, entered society, became engaged and disengaged, and finally married Edward Wharton of Boston, where she spent her first years of marriage. Forty years later, as a novelist, she looks back at the society that raised her and restrained her. Her feelings are complex, with both cordial attachment and sober criticism. The writer compared the upper class society in New York at that time to a small pyramid. It was sharp and slippery, making it difficult to gain a foothold on it. At the top of the tower, there are only two or three families with real aristocratic blood: the Dagonet family in Washington Square is an authentic county family; Mr. Van der Luyden is the direct grandson of the first Dutch governor, and his family has married several nobles in France and England; and the Laning family, who has married the Count de Grasse.
