An
Introduction to the History of Science in Non-Western Traditions (Now Available Online)
 This
new volume aims to introduce the pursuit of science in Non-Western
traditions through a series of brief essays and reading lists, in
the style of a richly annotated syllabus. There are contributions
on China, India, Latin America, Native America, Australia and the
Pacific and Japan. Each chapter begins with an introduction that addresses
the scope, noteworthy scientific achievements and major figures in
each particular tradition. Listed, too, are major references, coupled
with a list of major sources for addressing current scholarship: significant
journals, newsletters, Web sites, listservs, study centers, or professional
organizations where someone can update the sources on their reading
lists, review the latest research, or contact persons in the filed.
Each chapter then presents a six-day "syllabus" with a brief synopsis
for each day's theme or focus. Each day includes a list of student
readings: approximately 1.5 hours of introductory material.

and medicine.
