Joseph Needham describes one of history's most amazing tales. He has discovered the amazing evidence of China's inventions often centuries before the West. At the same time he points out differences between Chinese society, governed by an Emperor through the imperial bureaucracy, and the Europe's feudal system.

Good Chinese history

Almost impossible to comprehend the supreme genius and the mind of Joseph Needham. His concepts of biochemistry were far far ahead of his time: cellular organization. integrative levels, and other vast concepts. To learn Chinese in middle age, study it exhaustively and publish the definitive history of Chinese science. Think of it! His biology rules today. His philosophy and mysticism likewise. History is not yet over.....maybe, but mind survives. Donald Macdonald
