Features: This set of books has the following features:
1. Strong author lineup. The chief editor is a renowned science popularization writer and vice chairman of the China Society of Science Popularization, who was also the general editor of China Post Press. All the authors are top-tier science popularization writers, with a quarter of them having served as judges for the National Book Award. For example, the author of the astronomy volume, Li Yuan, had asteroid 6741 named "Li Yuan" by the International Astronomical Union to honor his outstanding contributions to astronomy popularization. When he came to Guangdong, Secretary Zhang Dejiang personally greeted him.
2. Up-to-date content. This set of books primarily showcases high-tech knowledge with new perspectives and approaches, while also striving to integrate science and humanities. It reflects the significant changes brought by high technology to our era and people's lives, and presents new concepts of development, science, and life. The book follows a Q&A writing style similar to "Why Do Things Happen," but is not limited to traditional question-and-answer format. It adopts a block structure and related knowledge links to organically connect knowledge, interesting anecdotes, historical stories, and more, making the content richer and more diverse. While bringing knowledge to life, it also focuses on developing and cultivating scientific literacy.
3. Concise content. The titles of this set of books are carefully selected to be close to reality and life, fresh, and appealing to readers aged 10-15, aiming to spark interest and resonance. The design breaks conventions, mimicking a computer webpage with clickable blocks, linked blocks, and randomly appearing sections such as explanations of terms, famous quotes, small facts, and science and society. The text is interspersed with numerous photos and illustrations to enhance visual appeal. The rapid development and widespread application of high technology have brought us into a new era of profound transformation. It is a necessity to publish a set of science popularization books with a strong sense of the times for adolescents aged 10-15. This set of books is part of the National 15th Five-Year Plan for Key Book Publishing Projects and is supported by the China Society of Science Popularization. It consists of 12 volumes covering computer science, biotechnology, environment, military, aerospace, transportation, communication, energy, materials, medicine, astronomy, and oceanography.
