	by Joseph Needham Sales Rank: 362175	List Price: ~~$277.00~~ $254.13 At Amazon on 10-13-2008

Hardcover: 926 pages Publisher: Cambridge University Press January 1, 1959 Language: English ISBN-10: 0521058015 ISBN-13: 978-0521058018 Product Dimensions: 9.8 x 7.8 x 2.6 inches Shipping Weight: 5.2 pounds *Product Description* After two volumes mainly introductory, Dr Needham now embarks upon his systematic study of the development of the natural sciences in China. The Sciences of the Earth follow: geography and cartography, geology, seismology and mineralogy. Dr Needham distinguishes parallel traditions of scientific cartography and religious cosmography in East and West, discussing orbocentric wheel-maps, the origins of the rectangular grid system, sailing charts and relief maps, Chinese survey methods, and the impact of Renaissance cartography on the East. Finally-and here Dr Needham's work has no Western predecessors-there are full accounts of the Chinese contribution to geology and mineralogy.
