It's a terrific book, I haven't knew the existance of it untill the recommandation of @ hkoenig
Anyone would join me to translate it (at least some chapter) in to other languages?

I guess by "other language" you mean Chinese first. Well, we have lots of translation work to do... Is there any particular reason why the book (instead of more up-to-date resources like Life Lexicon and LifeWiki articles) is chosen at the beginning?

There is really no such list. If there used to be some plan, I would go through and compile a list of translated terms at
User:GUYTU6J/Proposed Chinese translations, and then focus on completing the translation of either
Life Lexicon, Release 29 (2018 July 2) (provided that no new versions are coming along currently) (not LifeWiki, now that I've thought a little, as articles within are constantly changing and so not suitable) or the rumoured Game of Life textbook (details can be found
here).

tks, I'll try that.
The book I referred is the 40th anniversary book, it contains some first-hand history about 19070± Life and several academic questions that I have been wondering since I join the community.
Stories and Logical theory is always attracting

For the historical part, just refer to the LifeWiki
Lifeline transcriptions (which BTW are too old to be valuable for translation efforts but are otherwise still worth reading). I personally don't care about academic questions as much.
Let's put further discussion on the talk page associated to my proposed Chinese translations.
