The Genius of China: 3,000 Years of Science, Discovery and Invention
Language: English
Published by Inner Traditions, Rochester, Vermont, 2007
ISBN 10: 1594772177 ISBN 13: 9781594772177
Paperback. Condition: New. Revised, full-color illustrated edition of the multi-award-winning, international bestseller that charts the unparalleled and astounding achievement of ancient China ⢠Brings to life one hundred Chinese âfirstsâ in the fields of agriculture, astronomy, engineering, mathematics, medicine, music, technology, and warfare ⢠Based on the definitive work of the worldâs most famous Sinologist, Joseph Needham (1900-1995), author of Science and Civilisation in China ⢠Organized by field, invention, and discovery for ease of reference Undisputed masters of invention and discovery for 3,000 years, the ancient Chinese were the first to discover the solar wind and the circulation of the blood and even to isolate sex hormones. From the suspension bridge and the seismograph to deep drilling for natural gas, the iron plough, and the parachute, ancient Chinaâs contributions in the fields of engineering, medicine, technology, mathematics, science, transportation, warfare, and music helped inspire the European agricultural and industrial revolutions. Since its original publication, The Genius of China has won five literary awards in America and been translated into 43 languages. Its Chinese edition, The Spirit of Chinese Invention, was approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education for use in connection with the national secondary curriculum in China. Based on the immense, authoritative scholarship of the late Joseph Needham, the worldâs foremost scholar of Chinese science, and including a foreword by him, this revised full-color illustrated edition brings to life the spirit and excitement of the unparalleled achievements of ancient China.
