About the author

Public information about Huang Yao is limited, and the available details are not enough to outline her life or professional background. Judging from the eleven works held in the library, her writing interests span several fields. She has written popular world history such as An Illustrated Guide to Life of the Ancient Romans, and science books for general readers including The Remarkable Caracara and The Moment the Elephant Seals Appeared. In Faraway Father: Alzheimer's Disease and Us and Forever Daughter, she turns to documentary writing on illness, family ties, and kinship. She has also ventured into technical writing on artificial intelligence with Active Disturbance Rejection Robotics, and taken part in editing a commemorative collection, Unnamed Flying Letters: A Collection Commemorating Professor Rao Geping's Forty Years of Teaching. Overall, her works combine knowledge popularization with personal narrative and show a notably interdisciplinary range.
