lgli/Shorter Science and Civilisation in China - Volume 4 (Colin A Ronan, IA).pdf
The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China: Volume 4 Colin A. Ronan, Joseph Needham Cambridge ; New York: Cambridge University Press, The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China, Volume 4, 1994
Digesting the main sections of Volume IV of Dr. Needham's magnum opus, this book is concerned with the immense advances made in early and medieval China in mechanical engineering. It discusses in simple but eminently readable terms the status of engineers, their tools and materials, then basic mechanical principles, followed by machinery powered by animals, man and even by steam, vehicles for land transport, six centuries of hidden clockwork, windmills and aeronautics. Since China was far ahead of the West in ancient and medieval times, this volume helps make clear the immense debt owed by Western civilization to the Chinese. Such debts included the important mechanical principles of transforming rotary motion to a to-and-fro motion of a crank and vice-versa. They invented the first efficient harness for horses and the first mechanical clocks.Medium quality scan from Internet Archive

lgli/Shorter Science and Civilisation in China - Volume 5 (Colin A Ronan, IA).pdf
The shorter science and civilisation in China : an abridgement of Joseph Needham's original text. Volume 5 Colin Alistair Ronan; Joseph Needham Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China, 5, 1, 1995
This fifth volume of Colin Ronan's abridgement of Joseph Needham's monumental work is concerned with the remarkable engineering feats made during the early and medieval periods. No other country did more in civil engineering, both as to scale and skill, than China. The book opens with an account of the road system, which compared favorably with that of the Roman Empire. Naturally, the Great Wall of China is covered in some detail within the social context of walls, which--more than any other structure--mark the basic features of Chinese communities. The Chinese genius for town planning and achievements in hydraulic engineering are covered in later chapters. This book provides many clues as to the influence of Chinese innovation on Western engineering trends and will fascinate readers who are interested in the history of science and Chinese civilization.Medium quality scan from the Internet Archive.

lgli/Shorter Science and Civilisation in China - Volume 2 (Colin A Ronan, zlib).pdf
The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China. An Abridgment of Joseph Needham's Original Text. Volume 2: Volume III and a Section of Volume IV, Part 1 of the Major Series Colin A Ronan; Joseph Needham, Biochemiker Religionsphilosoph Orientalist Grossbritannien Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing), The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China, Volume 2, 1982
<p>In the second volume of his abridgement of Joseph Needham's original text, Colin Ronan looks in detail at the early Chinese contributions to various sciences. The first section deals with mathematics, and it is shown that the Chinese works were comparable with the pre-Renaissance achievements of the old world. This account is written with the non-mathematician in mind. The text is next concerned with the sciences of astronomy and meteorology, followed by the Earth sciences: geography, cartography, geology, seismology and mineralogy. Volume 2 closes with a description of some aspects of Chinese physics, including their predilection for the wave theory as opposed to particles, metrology, statics, hydrostatics, heat, light and sound.</p>

lgli/Shorter Science and Civilisation in China - Volume 1 (Colin A Ronan, IA).pdf
The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China. An Abridgment of Joseph Needham's Original Text. Volume 2: Volume III and a Section of Volume IV, Part 1 of the Major Series Colin A Ronan; Joseph Needham, Biochemiker Religionsphilosoph Orientalist Grossbritannien Cambridge ; New York: Cambridge University Press, The Shorter Science and Civilisation in China, Volume 1, 1978
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. It is a vast work, necessarily more suited to the scholar and research worker than the general reader. This paperback version, abridged and re-written by Colin Ronan, makes this extremely important study accessible to a wider public. The present book covers the material treated in volumes I and II of Dr Needham's original work. The reader is introduced to the country of China, its history, geography and language, and an account is given of how scientific knowledge travelled between China and Europe. The major part of the book is then devoted to the history of scientific thought in China itself. Beginning with ancient times, it describes the milieu in which arose the schools of the Confucians, Taoists, Mohists, Logicians and Legalists. We are thus brought on to the fundamental ideas which dominated scientific thinking in the Chinese Middle Ages, to the doctrines of the Two Forces (Yin and Yang) and the Five Elements (wu hsing), to the impact of the sceptical tradition and Buddhist and Neo-Confucian thought.Medium quality scan from Internet Archive.
