Book Club Mon
- Sept 21st at 7 pm.
Join us as we discuss The Man Who Loved China
by Simon Winchester
The extraordinary story of Joseph
Needham, the brilliant Cambridge scientist who
unlocked the most closely held secrets of China--long the world's most
technologically advanced country. This married Englishman, a freethinking
intellectual, while working at Cambridge
University in 1937, fell
in love with a visiting Chinese student, with whom he began a lifelong affair.
He became fascinated with China,
and embarked on a series of extraordinary expeditions to the farthest frontiers
of this ancient empire. He searched everywhere for evidence to bolster his
conviction that the Chinese were responsible for hundreds of mankind's most
familiar innovations--including printing, the compass, explosives, suspension
bridges, even toilet paper--often centuries before the rest of the world. His
dangerous journeys took him across war-torn China to far-flung outposts,
consolidating his deep admiration for the Chinese people. After the war, Needham began writing what became a seventeen-volume encyclopedia,
Science and Civilization in China.
