These essays were written during the tumultuous decade 1932-42. Joseph Needham's advocacy during those years played a major role in the radicalisation of British science, and in recovering the Christian roots of British socialism. The new edition of this work restores a text of crucial importance to the understanding of the 1930's. It reveals a great mind at work, sculpting new insights which are still entirely relevant to a new generation, struggling for human survival in the opening years of the twenty-first century.
