About this book

The Genius of China: 3000 Years of Science, Discovery & Invention by Temple, Robert. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780233002026.

The captivating, award-winning look at ancient Chinas unparalleled achievements now gets a lavish, revised color edition. Undisputed masters of invention and discovery, the ancient Chinese made pioneering strides in engineering, medicine, technology, math, science, warfare, transportation, and music that helped inspire the Wests agricultural and industrial revolutions. They were the first to drill for oil, build a suspension bridge, understand how blood circulates through the body, and even isolate sex hormones. Based on research by the late Dr. Joseph Needham, author of the 25-volume epic Science and Civilisation of China and the worlds foremost scholar of Chinese science, The Genius of China captures the spirit and excitement of centuries of ingenuity.
