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.

Best-selling author Eric Weiner is not a genius, and it is impossible to become someone with Einstein's IQ, but his daughter may still have a chance. Therefore, he traveled to 7 famous cultural cities around the world to study the time and place where creative geniuses emerged in history, and then thought about how to create a cultural atmosphere conducive to innovation at home. Combining travel notes, biographies, historical and sociological reflections, there are many discoveries along the way: why a chaotic environment is conducive to the emergence of genius (Beethoven was a complete slacker), why walking is conducive to thinking (even on a treadmill), why oysters were crucial to the Enlightenment, and why the Renaissance might not have happened without the outbreak of plague. Genius is not just a matter of genes or hard work. The key to nurturing genius lies in culture. This is not a personal behavior, but a public responsibility, as stated in "The Geography of Genius" "Villages raise children, cities cultivate geniuses."

"A Minimalist History of Marine Civilization: Navigation and 5,000 Years of World History" is a minimalist history of civilization from a marine perspective. It tells the story of how the ocean has influenced the process of civilization and shaped the modern world over the past 5,000 years according to the five themes of navigation, trade, empire, religion, food and health. The ocean has long been considered the fringe of civilization. Those who live near the sea are convinced that wealth and glory are hidden in the ocean, while those who live far inland dismiss the ocean as "meaningless waste, a desert of water." In fact, the ocean has had a profound impact on the history of human civilization. It made early human migration and exploration possible, provided people with the food they needed to live, and created new ways of making a living. Navigation promoted the development of new technologies such as shipbuilding, nautical charts, and compasses, and weaved a network of trade, religious dissemination, and cultural exchanges. Famous empires in history, such as Carthage, ancient Rome, ancient China and the Ottomans, all established navigation networks in their respective seas. In the Age of Discovery, small European countries emerged as global maritime empires, profoundly influencing and even shaping the modern world. The ocean has shaped our world, and "A Minimalist History of Marine Civilization" provides a minimalist introductory guide for us to re-understand the world. The book is divided into five themes - navigation technology, trade network, rise and fall of empires, spread of religion, disease and diet, from the Mediterranean Sea, the Indian Ocean, and ancient China to Portugal, Spain, and the British Empire, from the maritime nation Carthage and Zheng He's voyages to Magellan's voyage around the world, and comprehensively tells a 5,000-year "history of maritime civilization." For readers who want to understand how the ocean has reshaped the history of the world, or even want to re-view the "One Belt, One Road" from an ocean perspective, "A Minimalist History of Marine Civilization" is a choice not to be missed.

"Prehistoric Society in China's Northern Frontier Region" edited by Israel Gidi uses methods such as geographic information systems, statistics, visual and spatial analysis, and draws on theories and concepts from Western sociology and anthropology to conduct an in-depth analysis of archaeological materials from the late 2nd millennium BC to the early 1st millennium BC in China's northern frontier region, including the Northeastern region. It then depicts the social, political and economic development trajectories of the northern region, and provides a new perspective for us to re-examine and understand the social development process of the northern region.

In the early 1980s, when I started researching the history of Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, I developed a strong interest in the history of Alxa.

Understanding the history of Ningxia, understanding the current situation of Ningxia, and grasping the future of Ningxia are the sincere wishes of every Ningxia person and friends who care about the development of Ningxia. It is also a necessary knowledge quality for leading cadres and civil servants at all levels in Ningxia. In order to facilitate everyone to understand the basic data of Ningxia's regional conditions and national conditions, the Party School of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region Statistics Bureau jointly edited and published the "Ningxia Regional Situation Data Manual 2008-2009".

"China by the Great Wall" takes Chinese society by the Great Wall as the subject of observation. This is a very realistic topic because it is related to the social development process in the new era, to social harmony and progress, and to social fairness and justice. In this region far away from modern industry, commerce and modern logistics, in this region that was once war-torn and over-cultivated, people still use frugal farming or animal husbandry as an important means of continuing group and family life. This society beside the Great Wall, this group of people that people living in big cities would never think of, is another sample of real China.
