Go, find the truth about growth!
The boy, Lynch, is the veritable "focal point" of the class, and like his name, all kinds of strange things always find him. The girl Su Xiaoxiao used him as a prototype to collect comic materials, but together with her partner Lu You, she found many strange places. A book they read by accident confirmed their suspicions—their names, identities, families, and lives were all presupposed by the author of the book. Following the clues, the three partners embark on a thrilling, suspenseful and tense puzzle-solving journey. The process of the young reader following the protagonist step by step to reveal the truth is to complete a process of growth. This is a book of wisdom and a book of life, allowing children to understand that the meaning in life should not be formulated by others, but should be created by themselves.

The Legend of the Brain
Author: [English] Matthew Cobb
Translator: Zhang Jin
Publisher: CITIC Publishing Group
Where do our instructions for sensory and physical activity come from, and where do we live for cognitive activities such as emotions, consciousness, learning, and memory? Since the written record, human beings have never ceased to be curious about these problems. Over the millennia, our understanding of these issues has moved from a simple, superficial view of the center of the mind to a refined, deep view of the center of the brain. The brain, the "most complex object in the known universe," has attracted countless of the brightest minds in human history to decipher its secrets.
In the process of understanding the working mechanism of the brain, human beings have been using various metaphors, all of which are limited by technology, the times, and the level of human cognition of the brain at that time, and will be replaced by new metaphors after completing their historical mission. In "The Biography of the Brain", author Matthew Cobb uses the metaphor of the brain as an entry point to introduce one milestone after another in the history of human brain understanding and the scientists who have made great discoveries. From the view that the mind originates from the heart to the mechanical view of the brain as a machine, from the relationship between electricity and neural activity to the neuron theory of the nervous system, from how nerve signals represent information to the localized localization and decentralized distribution of brain function, from the brain as an immutable circuit to the brain as a plastic network, the author has experienced the tortuous evolution of human understanding of the brain, told the far-reaching impact of brain science research on the birth and development of computers, artificial intelligence and other fields, and outlined a group of stars shining. A magnificent scientific epic.
