This hefty volume is 1/27 of the late Joseph Needham's authoritative and still continuing series, published-to date-in seven volumes and 27 parts. The focus is scientific and artisanal, covering clays, glazes, firing, kilns, porcelain, stoneware, and pigments, as used to create everything from tiny celadon incense-burners to giant polychrome glazed roofs and cornices for vast complexes and entire cities. Needham's series has been decisively influential in global understanding of China's pre-modern scientific and technological superiority over the West. Codice articolo 8807
