In general, no, surely none of the information in the book is new. They are only past records.
What kind of books are selling well?
This is because no matter how the author of a book gets the latest information, edits it, and publishes it, there is a time lag before the book is distributed.
At the very least, the manuscript will be proofread, the words replaced, the expression changed, plagiarism checked, and the photographs used checked for correct orientation.
The drafted manuscript is sent to the printing process, the printing machine rotates, the cut pages are glued, and the cover is attached.
The finished book is thrown into the truck bed, sent to the warehouse of the agency, and delivered to the bookstore from there.
And how many months will it take for you to find a book produced in this way in a bookstore?
For this reason, ironically, history books seem to be selling well. There’s no reason why history books should have recent information.
What at least do we need to know when reading history books?
Historical statements are often rather irresponsible
As long as the facts of the past are accurately described, there will be no major problems, so there is no need to consider the changing world situation.
Still, when we read history books, there is at least something we need to know. What you need to know is that history is always one-sided.
For example, Western history is centered around the West. From a Western perspective, the East is both a foreigner and a newcomer.
From a Western point of view, the East was an underdeveloped country learning from the West and a stupid people who learned Western values.
It can be said that the Western view of history does not recognize the opposite composition, and the method of not recognizing the view of Eastern history is the Western view itself.
However, Western values have repeatedly experienced failures or errors caused by biased perspectives since modern times.
That’s because there is an oriental perspective based on oriental values, which has grown so large that no one can overlook it. History books cannot explain the present.
What kind of perspective do you have as a modern person? Do you want to experience failures or errors as well?
