Science and Civilisation in China Vol. 7 The Social Background - Part 2 General Conclusions and Reflections 2004 [pdf 331sc 283c. 101.38mb]Joseph Needham, who died in 1995, was the greatest British historian of China of the last 100 years. His Science and Civilisation in China series caused a seismic shift in western perceptions of China, revealed as perhaps the world's most scientifically and technically productive country in pre-modern times.
