From the publisher

The sixth volume of Dr Needham's immense undertaking, like the fourth and fifth, is subdivided into parts for ease of presentation and assimilation, each part bound and published separately. The volume as a whole covers the subjects of biology and biological technology (which includes botany and agriculture, zoology, all aspects of medicine, and pharmaceutics).

First line

'Botany', wrote the famous missionary S. Wells Williams in 1841, 'in the scientific sense of the word, is wholly unknown to the Chinese.'
