一兵

Four works have been published under the name Yi Bing. Public information is limited: his nationality, dates of birth and death, and English name are not recorded, so his personal life cannot be reliably established. Judging from the works in the collection, his writing spans military affairs, culture, world history, and applied psychology. These include On Sea Power, a work discussing maritime power and national strategy; Japan: Three Books, a form of cultural observation; A General History of the World (two volumes), which traces the course of world history; and Psychology Changes Life, a popular book on applied psychology. The wide range of subjects suggests an approach that combines academically oriented topics with accessible writing, aimed mainly at meeting the general reader's need for knowledge. Because reliable background information about the author is lacking, his specific experiences and the formation of his writing style await further materials.
