[ISBN: 978-90-04-26418-2]. - As new.The European 'dark ages' in the millennium 500 to 1500 CE was a bright age of scientific achievements in China, India and the Middle East. The contributors to this volume address the implications of this seminal era of Asian science for comparative and connective science studies. Although such studies have generally adopted a binary perspective focusing on one or another of the Asian (Chinese, Indian, Islamic) civilizations, this study brings them together into a single volume within a wider Eurasian perspective. Contributors are Arun Bala, Andrew Brennan, James Robert Brown, George Gheverghese Joseph, et al. - Publisher's retail price: € 139.52
