[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 6444675, member: 51347"]All of the comments seem very Western-Centric. China, India, Americas have a completely different stream of History. While the West Europe area went into Dark Ages. Other areas were flourishing. I agree with [USER=26302]@medoraman[/USER] . This is an interesting book I picked up in Hong Kong several years ago. It dispels a lot of the Western-Centric approach to MANY of the inventions and ideas thought to have arisen in the West. In many cases, China had been using various inventions, tools, concept for hundreds of years before the West. Easy read, but really puts a lot of things in perspective.
