The Encyclopedia, born in France in the 18th century, is a monument to the Enlightenment and a milestone in the history of human spiritual development. It marks the advent of a new era. The enlightenment philosophers who wrote the "Encyclopedia" believed that human knowledge is an interconnected and influential whole, and the expansion and deepening of knowledge will bring about social progress. "Encyclopedia" is not only a comprehensive dictionary of philosophical thoughts and various theories, but also collects various scientific achievements, artistic works, craft products and production methods created in the process of human development, which is both theoretical and practical. The preface to the "Encyclopedia" written by d'Alembert at the request of Diderot reflects this ideological concept. It not only shows a picture of world knowledge, but also reflects an effort to redraw the human spiritual territory. In today's big data era, this preface, which is the "Program of the Enlightenment Movement", also provides a macro narrative method worth learning from, to avoid information fragmentation, pay attention to the relationship between thought and practice, and build the integrity of human knowledge.

How is history written? How was it distorted? During World War II, the British government made serious mistakes due to Hart's influence. After the war, Hart used his alleged achievements to reverse the damage to his reputation. How did he do it? In this unflinching and fair-minded book, John Mearsheimer re-examines Liddell Hart's career and reveals the false picture Liddell Hart had about his role in the military policy debates of the 1930s. According to Liddell Hart's widely accepted account, his progressive ideas about armored warfare were rejected by the British Army and adopted instead by more farsighted German generals. He claimed that the Wehrmacht's application of his Blitzkrieg theory led to France's defeat in 1940, a disaster he had foreseen. In order to correct history, Mearsheimer completely destroyed Liddell Hart's "prophet myth" between the two wars. Mearsheimer found that, in fact, Liddell Hart "was simply wrong on some basic military issues in the 1930s" and that "his writings misled the British government into making serious mistakes." The widespread perception of Liddell Hart's misjudgment severely damaged his reputation during the war, and Mearsheimer also shows how Liddell Hart successfully repaired his own image. Although some of Liddell Hart's military theories remain relevant, Mearsheimer warned that they should be used with caution.

In the long history of mankind, which is as bright as stars, why is European civilization creating today's world? Starting from this question, we must first answer, what happened in Europe in the past, especially in recent centuries? What historical events that happened in the past can explain the current situation of human society today? Where do the basic elements of contemporary society come from? This book encyclopedically narrates the historical events of the past five centuries in Europe, from the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery to the establishment of colonial empires, from the industrial revolution to the social revolution, from the revival of ideas to economic development, from political changes to the establishment of global hegemony, detailing everything in detail. This is the valuable thing about this book. Based on the detailed history, the author very sharply points out the shortcomings of modern European civilization in the second half. Many clues of these shortcomings can be found in the glorious history of Europe in the past 500 years. Glory and decline, victory and tragedy have always been entangled and wrestling with each other in the centuries of rapid development of European civilization. In the past, world history gave opportunities to European sailors and emperors with curiosity and desire to conquer. Today, at the next juncture of history, will European civilization still be the pillar of future global development? I believe that after reading this book, we will have a clearer understanding of the role that European civilization plays in the process of human civilization, a clearer understanding of where modern society came from, and an answer to where human society is headed.

Neil Oliver used cutting-edge archaeological discoveries and historical research results to examine the history of Scotland within the broader scope of European and world history; and based on different stages, he used geological history, ancient human history, imperial history, trade history, and the history of Enlightenment thought to write about the glorious struggle of the Scots for ideological liberation and national freedom with thousands of years of historical pulse, colorful characters, and fierce battles. This book changes the tragic stereotype of Scotland, accurately grasps Scotland's identity, and finds a more appropriate position for Scotland in this vast world.

At the end of World War II, the U. S. Military had achieved successive victories in the Pacific battlefield and was making great strides towards the Japanese mainland. As victory approaches, a series of questions are also placed in front of the U. S. Government: Will Japan surrender without attacking the Japanese mainland? Once the US military lands on the Japanese mainland, will the Japanese resist desperately and cause huge casualties to the US military? After occupying Japan, how to transform Japanese society and whether to retain the emperor... Therefore, understanding the Japanese thinking and behavioral patterns has become a top priority for the US government. In June of the same year, the author of this book was ordered to study Japan from a cultural perspective in order to find the answer. "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is this answer sheet. It is actually a research report submitted to the U. S. Government by the author after analyzing Japanese culture. Facts have proved that the views in the book had a great impact on future U. S. Relations and policies toward Japan, and achieved good results. Therefore, although this book has only a few hundred thousand words, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is a veritable masterpiece, whether in terms of its impact on a country's destiny or in terms of its academic achievements. "Chrysanthemum" and "sword" respectively represent the two mentalities of Japanese people when facing ideals and reality, and are also portrayals of two different living conditions. The author analyzes different fields of Japanese society from the political structure, social class division, entertainment, human society, and even children's education. Not only is the theory clear, but the writing is also fluent and beautiful.

This book first examines the development of Japan's commodity economy in the early 19th century, which promoted rapid urban development, the rise of "machi people" culture, and the commercialization of entertainment and Chinese literary works that popularized knowledge. The later textual research was influenced by urban narrative literature such as "Tokyo Menghualu" and "Panqiao Miscellaneous Notes" in my country. The middle and lower class intellectuals at the end of the Tokugawa period imitated and created the "Manshangki" series of Chinese "play" novels. Especially represented by "Edo Nosho Chronicles" and "Nosho Postscript", the irony and pungency reveal the corruption behind the superficial glitz of society under the shogunate.

"Churchill's Memoirs of World War II 12: The Iron Curtain" records the magnificent history before the Allied forces were about to achieve total victory in the late World War II: the successful convening of the Yalta Conference, the Soviet Red Army's march to Berlin, the defeat and surrender of German fascism, the friction between the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, the United States dropping two atomic bombs on Japan and the impact of the Potsdam Proclamation. At the same time, it also shows the complex and subtle relationships within the Allies. Although a series of international conferences established a new order, the barriers and contradictions between the Western world and the Soviet Union have never been eliminated. The world was ruthlessly divided into two halves by the "Iron Curtain".

In the third year of Keicho (1598), Toyotomi Hideyoshi died of illness and was succeeded by his youngest son Toyotomi Hideyori. The leader of the five elders, Tokugawa Ieyasu, took the opportunity to secretly form a secret alliance with a daimyo and divide the territory at will. The following year, Maeda Toshiie, the most powerful of the five elders, died of illness. The relationship between the Toyotomi family retainers headed by Ishida Mitsunari and Tokugawa Ieyasu deteriorated rapidly. In the fifth year of Keicho (1600), Tokugawa Ieyasu launched an army to conquer Uesugi Kagekatsu due to the "Naoe War" filed by Naoe Kanetsugu, an important minister of the Uesugi family.

Tokugawa Ieyasu handed over the Uesugi war to his second son, and personally led the army to fight against the Toyotomi generals who supported him. On September 15, the fifth year of Keicho (October 21, 1600), the main forces of the two armies finally fought at Sekigahara in the Mino area...

At the end of the Muromachi shogunate in Japan, the daimyo mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and used Kyoto as the battlefield. The Eastern Army and the Western Army fought against each other for eleven years, which was known in history as the "Onin Rebellion." After the war, the power of the nobility and temples declined, the Muromachi shogunate declined, social order almost collapsed, the trend of "lower control of superiors" became increasingly popular, local forces rose, and Japan entered the Warring States Period. As a turning point of the times, the Onin Rebellion was evaluated as "the biggest event in Japanese history" by the famous historian Naito Konan. Based on the diaries of two eminent monks of Kofukuji Temple, and combining a variety of historical materials with the latest academic research results, the emerging historian Yuichi Goza analyzed the issue in detail, starting from the issue of shogun succession, the internal strife of the house leader Hatakeyama clan, and the political struggle between Hosokawa Katsumoto and the Yamana clan. The Cause of the Jin Rebellion uses popular language to vividly and detailedly restore the course of the war and the connections between the participants. It summarizes the consequences of the war and its impact on society and culture, which helps readers fully understand the great chaos that gave birth to the Warring States Period in Japan.
