Bloomington, IN, November 09, 2012 --(PR.com)-- For years, New York University Ph.D. candidate Yuehai (Mike) Xiao waxed poetic on everything from politics, modern society and pop culture, sharing thoughts and ideas with some of the finest minds of our time. Yuehai has compiled the best of these insights and shares them in his newly released book, Crossing the Seas: A Diary of My Thoughts, published by Author House.
