A major portion of the book concentrates on Taoist alchemy that led not only to the invention of gunpowder and firearms, but also, through the search for macrobiotic life-elixirs, to the rise of modern medical chemistry.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Science in Traditional China | Joseph Needham | Paperback | 0674794397 | Used: Very Good | Science \u0026 Math 1644291 (temp: 28)","offer_id":49287673970840,"sku":"1644291","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61vtlTOG9CL.jpg?v=1781895870","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/science-in-traditional-china","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
