Synopsis

This fifth volume of Colin Ronan's abridgement of Joseph Needham's monumental work is concerned with the staggering civil engineering feats made in early and medieval China. No other country did more, both as to scale and skill, than China. This book opens with an account of the road system, which compared and unfavourably with that of the Roman Empire.
