The first book, The Power of Reading, From Socrates to Twitter, was written by Frank Freddy, a British sociology professor. This book, relatively academic, can be said to be a complete book on the study of western reading theory. Starting from Socrates, Professor Freddy combed the classic works of hundreds of famous western thinkers on reading and literacy, covering the historical origin, development and evolution, cultural significance, complex influence and even a series of debates caused by reading, with complex and comprehensive contents. Although we often hear the sigh that books are dead now, in fact, history tells us that it is not the first time to feel anxious about the role of reading and its social impact. Too much information, insufficient attention and media interference are all old problems. But ah, human beings have never stopped reading because of these problems. If you are a journalism or media-related major, or a book baby who is engaged in related work. It is still worth reading.

The second book, The Yellow River and Chinese Civilization, is the work of Professor Ge of Fudan University. Compared with the Yangtze River, the history of the Yellow River is much shorter, but it is such a young river that gave birth to a great Chinese civilization. Professor Ge's book introduces the interaction between the Yellow River and China civilization in seven chapters, covering history and geography. It's a good popular science work, you can have a look.
