Sobre este item
Cambridge University Press, 1965. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Missing. 8x2x10. Cambridge, 1965. First edition. Very good. No dust jacket. Dust jacket flaps laid in: "Dr. Needham approaches this vast subject by way of discussion of the basic elements of all machines, and then moves to an analysis of the fundamental types of machine found in Chinese books and iconographic tradition. This enables him to set up a balance-sheet of transmissions between East and West. Then sets forth on a full-scale study of land transport, discussing in turn vehicles and types of harness. Animal traction is seen as a major source of power. The other is water. Chinese hydraulic engineering is one of the wonders of the world...the impulse behind Dr. Needham's writings is the desire to...correct the grievously distorted Western notion of the Chinese as otherworldly, un-scientific, anti-technological. What began as an attempt to set the record to rights has developed into one of the most remarkable works of our time." Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Due to the size/weight of this book extra charges may apply for international shipping.
