Review
Freewheeling, amusing, constantly alert and rarely dogmatic ... Needham keeps the reader aware of the place of China within a comparative context of global scientific discovery... [a] stimulating book. (Jonathan Spcnce New York Times Book Review)
A satisfying taste from the kitchen spoon of a great chef as he prepares an august banquet. It is 100 admirable pages, an honest sample of Needham's comparative method that brightens the shadows in our own history with light reflecting from the unexpected Chinese scene ... this little book [makes] a fine day's sail for readers. (Philip Morrison Scientific American)
