Science and Civilisation in China: Volume 4, Physics and Physical Technology, Part 3, Civil Engineering and NauticsCambridge University Press, 1971 - 990 páginas As Dr Needham's immense undertaking gathers momentum it has been found necessary to subdivide volumes into parts, each bound and published separately. The first two parts of Volume IV deal respectively with the physical sciences and with the diverse applications of physics in the many branches of mechanical engineering. The third deals with civil and hydraulic engineering and with nautical technology. |
