Within Chinese lunar calendar, Tuesday marks the beginning of 19th solar term: Start of Winter. As an ancient Chinese poem notes, "Little smart swallow under the roof, in summer flutter around, in winter hide itself."

In traditional Chinese culture, winter is a period of time to "hide" and to prepare for the new development in the coming spring. Thus it is a good time to study, to gain more knowledge and skills to use in the New Year.

Here are three new books to enjoy and learn something useful at the same time.

The color printed book is a good guide for nature lovers, and an ideal reading for leisure time.
