Ancient Chinese
Technology
Chinese Science and Culture was a sketch of a global history of
science and technology which emphasized China as the origin of
many of the prerequisite technologies of modernity-- printing,
the compass, gunpowder, cast iron, and so on-- and discussed the
historical and intellectual contexts of Chinese empirical and
theoretical knowledge of the physical world. It was
basically an effort to dismantle the assumption that there is
something essentially "Western" about science and technology.
