- Vol. 5 Chemistry and Chemical Technology. Part 13: Mining, by
Peter Golas. The fifth volume covers the subjects of chemistry and
chemical technology. The thirteenth part of the volume, is the first
history of Chinese mining to appear in a Western language. Spanning from
the Neolithic period to the present day, it deals with the full range of
Chinese mining from copper to mercury, arsenic to coal. The author
explores not only the written sources but also the archaeological
remains, and observes the traditional techniques still in use. The
interrelationship between Chinese mining and its social, economic and
political implications is examined. Through these discoveries,the author
concludes that these factors were probably more important in determining
how mining was carried out than the technological progress itself.

- Vol. 7 The Social Background. Part 1: Language and Logic in
Traditional China by Christoph Harbsmeier, Foreword by Joseph
Needham. Volume 7 Part 1 is the first book in the final volume of this
unique resource. Christoph Harbsmeier discusses the basic features of
the classical Chinese language that made it a suitable medium for
science in ancient China, discussing in detail a wide range of abstract
concepts that are crucial for the development of scientific discourse.
There is special emphasis on the conceptual history of logical
terminology in ancient China, and on traditional Chinese views on their
own language. Finally the book provides an overview of the development
of logical reflection in ancient China, first in terms of the forms of
arguments that were deployed in ancient Chinese texts, and then in terms
of ancient Chinese theoretical concerns with logical matters.

of the popular traditions centered on the Bamboo Grove Temple (Zhu lin si 竹

of that region.

from the Nine Chapters of Mathematical Methods (Jiu zhang suan shu 九 章 算 書) and Later Commentaries." The September 2005 abstract is as follows:
- Abstract: In this article Hart argues that the early
history of the development of determinants should be extended
back--1500 years earlier than previously recognized--to the Nine
Chapters of Mathematical Methods (c. 150 B . C . E . ). Hart focuses on
problem 13 from chapter 8 of the Nine Chapters, together with solutions
preserved in later commentaries. First, he shows that among these
solutions is found the earliest extant record of a calculation of a
determinant (c. 1025 C.E.), and the earliest extant record of a
determinantal solution (1661 C.E.). Hart then presents mathematical and
textual evidence to reconstruct determinantal solutions to problems in
the Nine Chapters and argues that these were known at the time of its
compilation.

Cloth ISBN: 978-0-7656-1808-5 USD: $$128.95. Information: 360pp. Index. Est. Publication Date: December 2007.
The latter guide will facilitate scholarly research concerning the history of Christianity in China as well as the wider
Sino-Western cultural encounter. It will assist scholars in their search for material on the anthropological,
educational, medical, scientific, social, political, and religious dimensions of the missionary presence in China prior to 1950.
The guide contains nearly five hundred entries identifying both Roman Catholic and Protestant missionary
sending agencies and related religious congregations. Each entry includes the organization's name in English,
followed by its Chinese name, country of origin, and denominational affiliation. Special attention has been paid to
identifying the many small, lesser-known groups that arrived in China during the early decades of the twentieth century.
In addition, a special category of the as yet little-studied indigenous communities of Chinese women has also been included.
Multiple indexes enhance the guide's accessibility.
