The greatest of "One Hundred Lectures" is over seven hundred heavy-duty tapes. Seven hundred forty-five-minute segments are quite long for a television program, especially when they record the essence of human thought. We have selected the content of five hundred lectures to produce CDs and publish them in series; at the same time, we have published nearly thirty related books to meet the diverse knowledge-seeking needs of those who love learning. This book is one of them.
