Hobson’s book thus propels the hitherto marginalized Eastern peoples to the forefront of the story of progressive world history.

Joseph Needham’s Science and Civilisation in China is a monumental piece of scholarship which breaks new ground in presenting to the Western reader a detailed and coherent account of the development of science, technology and medicine in China from the earliest times until the advent of the Jesuits and the beginnings of modern science in the late seventeenth century.
