Science and Civilisation in China, Volume 4: Physics and Phyusical Technology Part III: Civil Engineering and Nautics

By Joseph Needham, Lu Gwei-Djen, Wang Ling

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.
