"Joseph Needham directly supervised the publication of seventeen books in the Science and Civilisation series, from the first volume, which appeared in 1954, through to Volume 6, Part III, which was in press at the time of his death in march 1995. The planning and preparation of further volumes continues. Responsibility for the commissioning and approval of work for publication in the series is now taken by the Publications Board of the Needham Research Institute in Cambridge."--Preliminary page, v. 6 pt. 4 |
