Synopsis
In 1937 eccentric Cambridge biochemist Joseph Needham fell in love with a Chinese student, and then shortly later with China itself, a country and culture that was still mostly unfamiliar to The West. He soon began a series of long, and dangerous, journeys through China, discovering the marvels of the ancient civilization responsible for paper, fireworks, wheelbarrows, toothbrushes. The results of his endless curiosity and exploration was the 16-volume SCIENCE AND CIVILIZATION IN CHINA, a three million word masterpiece, that is unparalleled as a nearly exhaustive encyclopedia of Chinese history and innovation. Simon Winchester (THE PROFESSOR AND THE MADMAN) has a wonderful ability to capture both the glory of great books and the quixotic obsessiveness of the men who made them.
