About the author

Zou Dong is an author about whom little public information is available; the verifiable traces come mainly from works published under his name. Three of his titles are held in the collection, spanning applied psychology, social psychology, and culture. Two entries are devoted to The Poisonous Logic: Why Persuasive Words Can Be Unreliable, suggesting that this book carries particular weight among his known works. Judging from the title, he is concerned with the tension between persuasion and logic, examining why seemingly forceful discourse may not be trustworthy, and his writing leans toward clear-headed analysis and popular psychology for general readers. The other title, Memory of Qiangcheng: Selected Pen Drawings by Zou Dong, presents a very different side, recording the scenes of Qiangcheng in pen-and-ink and carrying the character of local cultural memory. One work emphasizes reasoning, the other images and local feeling, showing that his interests are not confined to a single field. Since his birth and death dates, nationality, and education cannot be confirmed, biographical details remain unknown.
