One of the most significant questions Needham raises is why Chinese science stopped innovating after the 16th century. An seminal work in the history of China, science, and the development of the world.
Sinopsis
Science and Civilisation in China (1954-2008) is a series of books initiated and edited by British biochemist and China scholar Joseph Needham (1900-1995). They deal with the history of science and technology in China. To date there have been 27 volumes (and parts). In 1954, Needham — along with an international team of collaborators — started a project to study the science and civilisation of ancient China. This project produced a series of volumes published by the Cambridge University Press.
