Among these good books, there are legends all around us

It brings the convenience of "one-click order", but also causes a series of chain reactions: the real economy continues to decline, and traditional communities have been withered; Squeezed by monopolies, small and medium-sized retailers are struggling; Workers are trapped in a high-pressure efficiency system and lose their dignity as workers.

Along with the rise of Internet giants comes our confusion. We live in a time when we have everything, but we are trapped in a life of nothing; We get 30-minute takeout at the click of a button, next-day delivery of digital products, the convenience of seven-day returns for no reason, but lose the dignity of labor, the freedom of choice, the right to public participation, and the connections and human feelings that once existed in the neighborhood.

Using Amazon as a lens, Alec McGillis, known as "one of America's most prominent senior journalists," captures the lives of people in the shadow of the tech oligarchy, showing an America divided geographically and classically by capital. Through a panoramic view, the book also shows that the upstream and downstream of the e-commerce industry, from industrial workers to ordinary buyers, are all caught in the slave trap of surveillance capitalism.

A Conversation Between the Lion and the Dragon

As the first official contact between Chinese and British officials, there is no doubt that the Macartney Mission's visit to China in 1793 had a profound impact on the historical development of the two countries, but the communication and translation of the mission rarely entered the field of researchers' attention.

Focusing on the key role of translation in this dialogue, the book's seven chapters are time-oriented and driven by multiple issues. Through an examination of the background of translators in diplomatic missions and the translation and adaptation of various documents, such as credentials, imperial edicts, gift lists, and correspondence, and based on in-depth excavation and analysis of a large number of valuable archives and documents in multiple languages, It tries to reconstruct the translation process of the Macartney Mission's visit to China, and shows the readers the vital importance of translation in the Macartney's visit to China and even in modern Chinese diplomatic activities.

This book is rich, detailed, and rigorous. It provides novel insights on many issues in the study of diplomatic missions, fills the gaps in the existing study of diplomatic missions, and provides an important reference and model for the study of modern Chinese translation history and Sino-British diplomatic history.
