Reviews

Some of the topics are incredibly original and demonstrate the vitality of this emerging field. This edited volume is a very important contribution to studies of China's science and technology. -- Mei Zhan, University of California, Irvine It not only will fill in the gap in the literature but also is a very unique scholarship that examines the science question-the role of science in the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation or the fulfillment of China dream-at the center of the study of contemporary Chinese society. -- Cong Cao, University of Nottingham Ningbo China
