This book is a critical history of the French Annals School, examining the sixty-year development history of this historical research group since the founding of the Annals magazine in 1929. There is no doubt that the Annales School was the most influential historical innovation movement in the 20th century. In the development process of the so-called "new history", it is the most important driving force. The Yearbook Group combines traditional history with geography, economics, linguistics, psychology, anthropology and other social sciences, expanding the field of history to a vast field of human activities, and creating a series of new methods, such as problem-oriented history, comparative history, historical psychology, geographical history, long-term history, serial history, historical anthropology, etc. Peter Burke distinguished three generations of scholars in the development of the Annales School. The first generation included the founders Lucien Fevere and Marc Bloch, who waged war against the traditional historiography system and created the magazine Annales to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration. The second generation was dominated by Braudel, who was already regarded as the most outstanding historian of his generation. The third generation includes famous contemporary historians such as Dupuy, Le Goff, and Leroy Ladurie. Burke's analysis is thorough and concise, and the key classics and branches of the Annales movement are clearly visible. This book was published by our company in 2006. Due to its concise and clear narrative and beautiful and smooth translation, it has become a must-read for introductory reading about the French Annales School, and has also become a classic recommendation in the history classes of major universities.

In 1570, Queen Elizabeth I of England was excommunicated by the Pope. In order to get rid of being surrounded by mainland Catholic countries, England started a period of alliance with the Islamic forces fighting in the Mediterranean and Catholic Spain, and had in-depth cultural, economic and political exchanges with the Islamic world. It was a remarkable period, with England signing treaties with the Ottoman Empire, accepting ambassadors from the King of Morocco, and sending arms to Marrakech. By the late 1680s, hundreds of merchants, diplomats, sailors, craftsmen, and privateer captains were regularly traveling from Morocco to Persia. Among them was the resourceful merchant Anthony Jenkinson, who met Suleiman the Magnificent and Shah Tahmasp of Persia in the 1560s. The Norfolk merchant William Haban became the first ambassador to the Ottoman court in 1582, while the adventurer Antoninus Sherry remained at the court of Shah Abbas the Great for much of the 1600s. The news these people brought back about the Islamic world was of great interest to the British and was expressed in many great literary works, such as Marlowe's Tamburlaine and Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and The Merchant of Venice. The creation of "Othello" is probably related to the visit of the Moroccan ambassador Anouli to Britain. This book demonstrates the extensive, often friendly, connections between Elizabethan England and the Islamic world. In today's era of globalization, this history of exchanges between heterogeneous cultures can still bring us great inspiration.

This book is the "Qin and Han Empire" volume in the "History of China" series published by Kodansha in Japan. This volume is written by Kazuyuki Tsuruma, an expert in this research field in Japanese academic circles. The author reconstructs the four hundred years of the rise and fall of the Qin and Han Dynasties through document analysis and field investigation, and analyzes the historical process of the Qin and Han Dynasties developing and growing through conflicts with other regional groups, annexing other countries, and ultimately creating the Qin and Han empires. This book particularly focuses on the perspectives of China and Japan in East Asia. Compared with China, the Japanese archipelago society during the Qin and Han Dynasties was quite backward. This was a fact at the time. However, even so, the author believes that it is undesirable to take China as the center and view the border as barbarians from a Chinese perspective. Therefore, we can see that the narrative in this book is not centered on Huayi thought, but pays attention to regional diversity and attempts to understand Chinese history from the perspective of ancient world history.

What is "the land of Israel"? It is neither the contemporary state of Israel as a nation-state nor the historical Jewish kingdom that emerged from the Fertile Crescent. It is a historical concept that has been continuously accumulated and added to Zionism in different historical periods. Its borders are constantly floating, providing historical legitimacy for the territorial expansion of the contemporary State of Israel. After the publication of "The Fictional Jewish Nation", Schlomer Sander did not expect that in the early 21st century there would be so many critics citing historical rights to defend Zionist colonial activities. This book is a response to these questions. How was the "Land of Israel" fictionalized as a shifting territorial space that should be ruled by the Jewish people? To answer this question, Sander starts with historical evidence, details the Jewish exile myth from the Old Testament period to the establishment and expansion of the modern state of Israel, and deconstructs the Jewish concept of "historical rights" to the Land of Israel and related nationalist narratives. Sander believes that the purpose of the so-called legal-historical logic of the Jewish people is to construct the moral legitimacy of territorial seizure. I did not realize that my country had no borders since its founding, but only mobile modules that always provided the possibility of expansion... What unveiled the mystery of this land was not the death of God, but the nationalization of God, which turned the land into a soil that the new Jewish nation could trample and build as it pleased. --Shlomer Sander

This volume focuses on the spatial cognition of European prehistoric peoples and their ability to transmit cartographic concepts through media such as petroglyphs; surveying, geodesy, and architectural plans in ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern cartography; the emergence of theoretical and practical cartographic knowledge in the Greco-Roman world; and the diverse cartographic traditions that coexisted during the medieval period. Moreover, by including cosmographic maps and celestial maps among the research objects, it emphasized the inclusiveness of the definition of "map", thereby getting rid of the traditional narrow research scope that only focused on land maps and nautical charts, and thus influenced the writing of subsequent volumes of the series. In addition, the book begins with "The Development of Maps and the History of Cartography" written by Harry as an introduction to the entire series, and Chapter 21, which serves as the conclusion, discusses the ruptures, cognitive transformations and social background in the development of European maps.

This book is a volume of the "Liao, Western Xia, Jin, and Yuan" series of "China's History" published by Kodansha in Japan. This volume is written by Masaaki Sugiyama, an expert in this research field in Japanese academic circles, and highly recommended by Professor Yao of Fudan University. It directly involves the history of about five hundred years from the second half of the 9th century to the end of the 14th century.

Why thrive? Why was his country destroyed and his family destroyed, and he was forced to wander around the world? Why are you repeatedly ostracized and persecuted?

The Jewish perseverance and extraordinary adaptability, the footprints left by Jewish civilization in the long process of development, and the ups and downs of four thousand years of Jewish history are brilliantly presented in Paul Johnson's majestic masterpiece of more than a thousand pages.

The English's long and violent attempt to dismember the continent's most powerful nation produced one of the most profound chapters in European history.

Nussbaum has an extremely high intellectual talent for classical studies and a strong ability to grasp classical texts, but her works often become the focus of controversy and even crusade in the academic community. This book is one of her few masterpieces that is widely recognized by the academic community. During the Hellenistic period, Epicureans, Stoics, and skeptical philosophers believed that philosophy was not a rational law that had nothing to do with human emotions, but an art that dealt with daily life problems and discovered the meaning of life.

The main body of the argument is how Hellenistic philosophers can make people's lives healthier and happier by taming desire. She calls the philosophy of these three Hellenistic philosophical schools compassionate medical philosophy. Many discussions in the book are also of great significance to today's society.
