| Annotation: | Needham states that the Chinese have a countless wealth of tractates and books without parallel in the world that document the genera and species which they have encountered on travels, conquests, or at home. He traces the development of Chinese botany from proto-scientific times in order to determine how far it progressed before its unification with modern science, a time of approximately two millenia. Includes woodcuts, illustrations, diagrams, and tables. |
