Description:
Cambridge.: Cambridge University Press.. Reprint.. 1989.. Maps, black and white line illustrations, xxxii + 718pp, index, bibliographies, dustjacket, bookplate tipped in paste down endpaper, a very good hardback copy. The sixth volume of Dr Needham's immense undertaking, like the fourth and fifth, is subdivided into parts for ease of presentation and assimilation, each part bound and published separately. The volume as a whole covers the subjects of biology and biological technology (which includes botany and agriculture, zoology, all aspects of medicine, and pharmaceutics). This part traces the history of plant science in China through two millennia. A long section on the plant geography and soil science of China is followed by a study of botanical linguistics and plant nomenclature. The body of the book is an authoritative survey of the literature from the earliest passages from the most significant florilegia and compendia, and an assessment of the Chinese system of classification. .
