Bill Kaghan’s Reviews > The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom > Status Update

This book is a biography of Joseph Needham, a renowned faculty member at Cambridge University, an internationally renowned biologist, a colorful personality, a left-wing activist, and the author of the groundbreaking multivolume series "Science and Technology in China" over the course of the last fifty years of his life. Winchester, as usual, tells a fine story of an exotic career and life.
