Xenophon was one of the three major historians of ancient Greece along with Herodotus and Thucydides. He not only wrote "History of Greece" and "The Long March" and other masterpieces that were praised by later generations, but also wrote many short articles criticizing the city-state system and people and events at that time. "Economics and Politics of Ancient Greece" is a collection of seven short treatises by Xenophon, including "Domestic Economics", "On Financial Resources", "Spartan Constitution", "Agesilaus", "Hiero", "On Captains of Cavalry" and "The Constitution of Athens" written under the name of Xenophon.

"The Old Regime and the Revolution" is recognized as a classic study of the French Revolution. In this book, the author reveals the intrinsic connection between the old system and the Great Revolution through the analysis of a large number of historical facts. The French Revolution seemed to destroy all the old systems. However, the French Revolution unknowingly inherited most of the emotions, habits, and ideas from the old systems. Some systems that were originally thought to be the achievements of the Revolution were actually the inheritance and development of the old systems. In this book, the author not only provides a groundbreaking explanation of the causes and consequences of the French Revolution, but also raises many phenomena and issues that triggered the thinking and exploration of later historians and political scientists. For example, why did feudal privileges become more abhorrent to the French people than elsewhere? Why do the French prefer reform first and freedom later? Why did prosperity accelerate the arrival of the Great Revolution? Etc. What is particularly valuable is that the author did not "think" about the French Revolution in a vacuum, but relied on the analysis and research of original materials to draw conclusions. The author has read and made use of a large number of archival materials that have never been touched before, including ancient land inventories, tax books, local and central memorials, instructions and correspondence between ministers, records of the three-level meeting, and the 1789 petition letter.

A world of hotter temperatures, more floods and droughts, and more disasters is approaching. We are in a new geological epoch-the Anthropocene. Humans have not only changed the natural environment on the surface, but also affected oceans, forests, rivers, and the terrain of more than half of the earth's surface from the inside out. We even genetically change the types of plants and animals. Humanity is getting stronger and stronger, but losing control on more levels. We'll read about the most cutting-edge, wildest plans to combat global warming: launching tiny diamonds or other particles into the stratosphere-"like sprinkling the world with pixie dust"-to simulate what would happen after a volcanic eruption, using reflective particles to reduce the temperature of the sun as it reaches the ground. Solar geoengineering works quickly, but it also comes with unknown side effects. What researchers are sure of is that this will change the look of the sky, and the new "sky blue" will be white. This time, Colbert will examine how humans, sometimes bravely and sometimes foolishly, change nature in order to control it, how they destroy within a few decades things that took millions of years to create, and how they try to undo the damage they have caused by interfering with nature.

They skillfully weave together historical events, influential figures and social systems, as well as themes such as politics, economy, religion, geography, war, philosophy, mythology, drama, painting, and architecture. Combining 53 maps, 182 illustrations, and rich and wonderful historical documents, they take us deep into the daily lives of the ancient Greeks, experience the fluctuations and extensions of their spiritual world, and understand the important driving force behind their own civilization. More importantly, this book is not limited to the description of the Aegean region, but expands its horizons to the entire Mediterranean world, striving to comprehensively present the countries and people who interacted with the ancient Greeks. From this, the book narrates the Mycenaean civilization, the centuries-long bleak Dark Ages, the birth and success of city-states in the Archaic era, the Hellenistic era, and the moment of fate that fell to the iron heel of ancient Rome. In the author's writing, this land demonstrates its ups and downs, struggles, and endless power in the torrent of the times.

"War and Peace" is not only a description of a special historical episode, but also an encyclopedia of universal human living conditions and emotional genealogy. It has lasting charm and I believe that everyone who reads it can reflect on themselves.
