In the author's opinion, the American independence wave from the late 18th to the 19th century brought about the original "split" of the Americas. The American Revolution of Independence was successful, and it quickly established a unified and democratic national system and began to expand into its western interior.

There is Greek specialty wine exuding the scent of pine, roasted guinea chicken served on a silver plate decorated with the coat of arms of the Medici family, Pecorino goat cheese, and snacks made of almond flour wrapped in cream that can be swallowed in one bite. There are also studios of artists in the center of Florence in the 16th century, major banks all over Europe, and a dazzling array of shops filled with foreign goods. You will pass by plainly dressed civilian women cooking Egyptian bean soup in a cauldron, and you will have a heated discussion about Machiavelli's prophecies with aristocrats wearing fine satin and lace. What's even more incredible is that you can also go to watch and "interrupt" Michelangelo's own creation of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling frescoes! Not only that, the love drama between a handsome man and an elegant geisha, the power struggle between ambitious young people, and the complex relationships between the great powers at that time are all presented in this "Renaissance Novel" series.

We are no strangers to humans, but how did humans evolve into what they are today? What are the key factors that make people human? I will discuss the rise and fall of humankind in five parts. The first part covers millions of years of human evolution, ending with the rise of agriculture 10,000 years ago. The second part discusses changes in the human life cycle. After focusing on the biological basis of our cultural expression, Part 3 goes on to discuss those cultural characteristics that we think make "humans different from animals." Part Four discusses one of them: our vendetta potential. Another dark characteristic of humanity: its ever-accelerating destruction of the environment. In Part Five, I will detail the history of human environmental mismanagement to expose that illusion. As humans emerged from the animal kingdom, our capacity for self-destruction accelerated. The problems we face do have their roots in animals. Those problems have followed us, growing with our increasing power and population, and are now expanding at an alarming rate. I would not have written this book if I had not felt an urgent crisis; I would not have written this book if I had believed that our destruction was sealed. In fact, what we lack is the necessary political will. I trace the history of the human species in this book to help gather that will.

Why can some countries successfully initiate territorial expansion plans and become empires? Why do empires fall sooner or later? This is a long-standing and controversial issue in historical research. Peter Turchin applies modeling and quantitative methods to the study of the rise and fall of states. Starting from the interaction between geopolitics, sense of community, national assimilation and religious conversion, as well as population dynamics and social stability, he constructs different quantitative models to explain the expansion and decline of empires. This book provides a unique and new perspective for us to understand the rise and fall of countries and the dynamic changes of human history.

"The Great Divergence" is the masterpiece of Pomeranz, a representative of the California School, and has been a best-seller for 20 years. In this book, based on a large amount of materials, Pomeranz examines the economic development of major countries in Europe and Asia in the old world and their core regions, and explores a series of key issues that affect the formation of the modern world economy: Why did England not become Jiangnan? Why have China and Europe taken different paths? According to Pomeranz, in 1750, the economic core areas of England and China were very similar in terms of life expectancy, agricultural product market, labor system, land use, capital accumulation and technology. The ecological environment in the core areas of China and Japan was no worse than that of Western Europe. Throughout the 18th century, the core areas of the Old World faced local shortages of land-intensive products. The East and the West are on generally similar economic development paths, and the West has no obvious advantage.
