In "Zimbardo's Oral History", Professor Zimbardo faces readers directly for the first time and recounts his life's journey. Wisdom can be seen in his growth story: at the age of 8, he summed up the rules of leaders and followers while playing with his peers; when he was studying, he was mistaken for the Sicilian Mafia and was isolated. Instead of being depressed, he began to pay attention to and think about the power of situations; while working on Broadway, he not only accumulated a lot of experience in "making customers pay", but also learned how to manage time and quickly switch between multiple tasks. In this book, Professor Zimbardo completely traces his 50 years of teaching and research experience, describing his four major contributions - the Stanford Prison Experiment, conceptualizing shyness, time perspective research, the causes, consequences and sources of inspiration for the Heroic Imagination Project. Readers can see how scientific research with vitality and creativity derived from life was born. In addition, you will also read about Zimbardo's experiences and stories of becoming a popular star teacher at Stanford, leading hundreds of students in anti-war protests, and fighting for employment opportunities for minorities and women. You will find that he is not only a scholar who questions human nature, but also a natural educator with a teacher's blood, a peace-loving activist who pays attention to the disadvantaged groups in society, and a great thinker with the world at heart. From a poor boy in the ghetto to a master respected by everyone, from an out-of-control prison experiment to helping people become a better version of themselves, "The Oral History of Zimbardo" will take us to witness the journey of a generation of psychological masters, and at the same time give us a deeper understanding of ourselves, the environment and human nature.

Archaeological Story

This book covers more than twenty major archaeological resorts in the world, as well as important archaeological discoveries. We will see the golden mask of the Egyptian Pharaoh, the marble statues in the Parthenon Temple in Greece, and the sacrifices in the Mexican jungle... These cultural relics will tell us as objectively as possible, what kind of life our ancestors lived, what kind of civilization they created, and why some of these civilizations went to destruction. This is also the legendary story of a group of "treasure hunters" - archaeologists. In 1872, Schliemann dug a large trench like a wound on the mound in search of Troy; in the 1960s, Israeli Aden led an archaeological team to climb to the top of Masada's steep mountaintop and sifted about 38,000 cubic meters of soil in search of cultural relics; in 2010, Klein, the author of this book, and "space archaeologist" Sara Parkak stared at satellite images and discovered in the fields the ruins of the Roman "Ironclad Regiment" barracks in the second century AD. The book also demonstrates the evolving archaeological technologies, such as aerial surveys, lidar, and carbon-14 dating, which allow more sites to be discovered and cultural relics to tell more stories. The author also answers the common questions of ordinary people from the perspective of an archaeologist: How do you know where to dig? How do you know how old something is? Do you own what you find? In this way, archaeological stories take us on a journey upstream in human history and provide us with revelations about the future.
