“创新是一个民族进步的灵魂,是国家兴旺发达的不竭动力”这是江泽民继邓小平同志关于“科学是第一生产力”的重要论段之后提出的又一重要思想,从而进一步奠定了科教兴国战略的理论基础。 科教兴国是我们国家的发展战略,实施科教兴国战略也绝非少数科学家和教育家的事,更应该是全社会全民族的头等大事。正如没有世界屋脊青藏高原就不会有世界最高的珠穆朗玛峰一样,没有全民族科学素质的普遍提高和全社会科学精神的普遍培养,就不会有全社会科技成就和科技人才的世界高峰。提高全民族的科学素质和培养全社会的科学精神就是打好科教兴国的基础,而“科教兴国也要抓好基本建设”。科普工作,包括出版高质量的科普图书,就是一项基本建设,两院院士撰写科普,这一跨世纪的科普出版工程得到以江泽民同志为核心的 “Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for the country's prosperity and development.” This is yet another important thinking made by Jiang Zemin following Deng Xiaoping's important passage on “science is the primary productive force.” This further establishes the goal of rejuvenating the country through science and education The theoretical basis of strategy.

Raising the scientific quality of the whole nation and cultivating the scientific spirit of the whole society are the cornerstones for laying a good foundation for the rejuvenation of our country through science and education. “We must also do a good job in rejuvenating our country through science and education.” Popular science work, including the publication of high-quality popular science books, is a basic construction. Academicians of the two academies write science popularization. This cross-century science publishing project has gotten Comrade Jiang Zemin as the core
