Reviews

This richly textured history takes readers on a fascinating journey into the world of science dissemination and mass science in the early People’s Republic of China. Tracing the significance of experiment as method and social practice, Matten and Kunze probe the connection between science and state-building and reveal a plurality of knowledge systems that spanned agriculture, technology, medicine, veterinary medicine, and more. The result is a highly original, incisive, and lucid contribution to modern Chinese history and the history of scientific knowledge and state governance in the twentieth century. -- Jennifer Altehenger, Merton College
