Atlas of the History of Modern Science 1500-2020
This Atlas of the History of Modern Science functions as a textbook to help the student, by means of diagrams and flowcharts, to better understand both science and the history of science. It thus also aids the reader to better grasp the modern worldview. Students can, at a glance, see the grand picture and orient him- or herself among different traditions and thinkers, and better organize and structure information about the history of science and the scientific developments. This atlas is an invaluable textbook to every student of science, of the history of science, as well as for others seeking to understand our modern Weltanschauung, and how we have arrived at it.
The Cambridge Illustrated History of China
In an extraordinary feat of synthesis, Patricia Buckley Ebrey, a leading scholar of China, gives an engaging, full, gloriously illustrated account of over 8000 years of Chinese civilization - from prehistoric times through the rise of Confucianism, Buddhism and the imperial dynasties to the modern communist state. In addition, she explores the different factors and forces, ideas and inventions, events and leaders that have shaped the remarkable Chinese civilization we know today; including the technological advances, the population explosion, and the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. Everything appears, from the influence of leading Chinese historians, poets, novelists and dramatists to the impact of key philosophical and religious ideas, art forms, family patterns, and the Mongul, Manchu and Western intrusions.
