I want as many people as possible to enjoy the subject. I believe understanding the past that has shaped the present day helps us continue to build a better future③.However，academic history books do not usually make that easy for the general reader.With the rise of④ popular history books，the subject is now more accessible than ever.This type of⑤history book presents historical information in a way that is easily understood，sometimes with a touch of humour⑥，seeking to⑦ inform and educate a wider audience about history.It also provides a knowledge base for⑧ those who want to study history but need to walk before they can run. So how do popular history books achieve this? The authors adopt a natural，chatty style of writing that opens up⑨ the subject matter to the ordinary reader.Also，they often use stories and interesting comparisons to describe historical figures⑩ or events vividly，thus engaging the reader's interest.Packed with vivid descriptions and fun facts，this type of history book is highly readable and true to life.
