Reviews
"Perhaps the greatest single act of historical synthesis and intercultural communication ever attempted by one man." Laurence Picken, Cambridge University, "Robinson has not only laid to rest, in his essay on literary language a prejudice reiterated over a century and a half; he has done everything anyone could do to make Joseph Needham's final views accessible. This volume will be invaluable to those interested in Needham's intellectual career, or capable of being inspired by his breadth of mind. Robinson's own writing makes it essential to everyone interested in the history of science worldwide." - China Review International Nathan Sivin, University of Pennsylvania, "[An] astonishing and enduring study...[Needham brings] depth of emotion and technical finesse to his task." Jonathan Spence, New York Review of Books, "This is the concluding volume for "General Conclusions and Reflections" of the monumental seriesScience and Civilisation in China. Launched in 1994 it will total some 30 volumes when completed. Highly recommended." CHOICE

Synopsis
It would be difficult to overstate the importance of Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China series. For nearly fifty years, Needham and his collaborators have revealed the ideals, concepts and achievements of China's scientific and technological traditions from the earliest times to about 1800 through this great enterprise. During his long working lifetime, Needham kept in draft various essays, some written with collaborators, in which he set out his broad views on the Chinese social and historical context. These essays, edited by one of his closest collaborators, Kenneth Robinson, are contained in the present volume. A reading of this material makes it possible to reconstruct the assumptions and problematics that underpinned and drove the Needham project throughout the nearly one half century during which he was at the helm. The documents gathered here reveal the intellectual foundations of one of the greatest scholarly enterprises of the twentieth century., Joseph Needham's Science and Civilisation in China series caused a seismic shift in western perceptions of China. But why did the scientific and industrial revolutions not happen in China? In the concluding volume of this series, Needham reflects on this question and gives fascinating insights into his great intellectual quest., 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. But why did the scientific and industrial revolutions not happen in China? Joseph Needham reflects on possible answers to this question in the concluding volume of this series and provides fascinating insights into his great intellectual quest.
