The information that any scientist obtains, regardless of his field, is like a precious pearl that must have a shell to preserve it so that it can be transmitted safely through generations. This role of the shell is represented by the book, which is one of the most powerful ways of transmitting knowledge.
The book, in ancient and modern times, played a very large role – and still does – in preserving various information, even if individuals did not realize its value at the time of its appearance, they will inevitably know it later, and at this time they will find it in the confines of this book.

Reading books gives a person different and diverse information that will definitely help him in other aspects of his life.

In addition to the cognitive benefit, books and reading them are considered one of the most powerful factors that improve mood and calm the nerves.
