In 1869, Muir was invited by a friend to go to the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Yosemite Valley to herd sheep and investigate. Along the way, he wrote "Walking Through the Mountains in a Summer." Three months of walking in the mountains made him realize that the damage caused by natural grazing to mountain grasslands is irreversible. In 1903, he took Theodore Roosevelt on a nature tour of the valley, confiding to the president his grief at the erosion of the beauty. Roosevelt was impressed by Muir and realized that only through federal power could the beauty of the Sierra Nevada be preserved for a long time. In 1906, Muir single-handedly promoted the establishment of national parks in the United States, and under his influence, Roosevelt approved the creation of 53 wildlife refuges, 16 national monuments, and six national parks during his term.

This work written by Australian national treasure historian Geoffrey Bryne is popular, concise and vivid. It mainly focuses on the history of Australia for more than two hundred years since Captain Cook discovered the Australian coast.

Through long and short shots, the many events and themes that defined Australia's identity emerge: the changing natural landscape, the influx of foreign things, the enthusiasm for spectator sports, the rivalry between Catholics and Protestants, the wrestling between different regions and cities, overseas wars and domestic ethnic conflicts, technological changes, the recognition of the history and rights of Aboriginal people, old and new alliances, national successes and failures, but also distance and climate.

To live is to dare to cry, dare to laugh, dare to be angry and be free. And living alone is an attitude towards life. A person's life is not to be completely alone, but to talk more freely with oneself, friends and the world. "Living Alone" is the work of Japanese soul poet Shuntaro Tanikawa when he was in his late seventies. During this period, he experienced the death of his father, the birth of his grandson, the separation of his friends, and began to live alone. Through Shuntaro Tanigawa, we can see the ideal of a person's life: passion, loneliness, elegance and freedom. He defends a person's life, using delicate and Zen-like writing to record those mood swings that are easily obscured by daily trivial matters and difficult to capture. Starting from the trivial and ordinary daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, he writes letters, eats, listens to concerts, and writes poems, describing his understanding of family, friendship, and love, and talks about life, death, and aesthetics wisely and generously. Life is difficult to describe in one sentence, but the author tells everything frankly, creating this collection of essays full of light philosophy on life. Everyone needs a space of their own, where a free soul lives.

He once said: "There is no star as lovely and moving as the street lights of Edinburgh. If I forget you, Edinburgh, then please let my writing right hand lose its flexibility!" This book is composed of a series of prose, from Edinburgh's Old Town, Parliament Square to the New Town, Calton Hill and the Pentland Hills, unfolding a unique landscape painting. The work is both a travelogue and interspersed with social commentary, and is overflowing with the author's feelings about his hometown. The Edinburgh in the book is a three-dimensional city with dramatic contrasts - a city spread out between the old and the new, between wealth and famine, between mansions and countryside.

Only a knowledgeable person who truly loves Edinburgh can tell all this honestly without falling into the clichés of critical literature. In short, this is the work of an Edinburgh "insider". This book was introduced by the Gutenberg Project and translated into Chinese for the first time.
