First published in 1969. The historical civilization of China is,
with the Indian and European-Semitic, one of the three greatest in
the world, yet only relatively recently has any enquiry been begun
into its achievements in science and technology. Between the first
and fifteenth centuries the Chinese were generally far in advance
of Europe and it was not until the scientific revolution of the
Renaissance that Europe drew ahead. Throughout those fifteen
centuries, and ever since, the West has been profoundly affected by
the discoveries and invention emanating from China and East Asia.
In this series of essays and lectures, Joseph Needham explores the
mystery of China's early lead and Europe's later overtaking.
