About the author
Pang Yan is a Chinese translator about whom limited public information is available. She has long worked on translations of psychology and popular science books and has collaborated with institutions such as Zhejiang People's Publishing House, Zhejiang Education Publishing House, and Zhejiang Science and Technology Publishing House. Three of her translations are included here: The Autobiography of Martin Seligman, The New Intelligent Species, and Why the World Is Beautiful and Elegant, which touch respectively on psychology research and science popularization. These works suggest that her choices balance the personal narrative of a psychologist with the accessible exposition of scientific ideas, presenting both the intellectual trajectory of scholars and new scientific knowledge for general readers, while serving the pace of the original narratives and their exposition of knowledge in an effort to balance academic seriousness with readability.
