This is a collection of lectures on the history of chinese science by one of the foremost experts in this field. Foremost among those writing in english, at least. Since the book is so short it's a bit sketchy sometimes and it reads mostly like a selection of tidbits for arousing interest in this topic. Some of the concluding remarks on why modern science developed in the west rather than in china were interesting, but I think persons with a serious interest in chinese science can just as well move directly to the other, more detailed studies written by this author.

The world's preeminent authority on Chinese science explores the philosophy, social structure, arts, crafts, and even military strategies that form our understanding of Chinese science, making instructive comparisons along the way to similar elements of Indian, Hellenistic, and Arabic cultures. A major portion of the book concentrates on Taoist alchemy that led not only to the invention of gunpowder and firearms, but also, through the search for macrobiotic life-elixirs, to the rise of modern medical chemistry.
