Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents high-quality papers on the History of Mathematical Sciences, focusing on Portugal and East Asia, a testament to ongoing international collaboration in uncovering the rich, interwoven histories of science, culture, and diplomacy across continents. This volume explores the profound impact of mathematical and scientific exchanges between Europe, and in particular, Portugal, and East Asia, emphasizing how time, space, and cosmological understanding were shaped and transformed through intercultural contact. Chapters range from Jesuit mechanical clocks in Japan to reinterpretations of Euclidean logic in Chinese translations, from the mapping of early Portuguese planispheres to Qing dynasty astronomical reform. Featuring contributions by leading historians of science, this collection sheds light on the individuals Jesuits, scholars, artisans who bridged cultures and shaped knowledge across early modern Eurasia. It offers a unique lens into how mathematics and cosmology were not only tools of measurement but also vehicles of cross-cultural dialogue and power. This book is essential for historians of science, mathematics, and East-West relations. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Science and Confucian Statecraft in East Asia explores science and technology as practiced in the governments of premodern China and Korea. Contrary to the stereotypical image of East Asian bureaucracy as a generally negative force having hindered free enquiries and scientific progress, this volume offers a more nuanced picture of how science and technology was deployed in the service of state governance in East Asia. Presenting richly documented cases of the major state-sponsored sciences, astronomy, medicine, gunpowder production, and hydraulics, this book illustrates how rulers' and scholar-officials' concern for efficient and legitimate governance shaped production, circulation, and application of natural knowledge and useful techniques. Contributors include: Francesca Bray, Christopher Cullen, Asaf Goldschmidt, Cho-ying Li, Jongtae Lim, Peter Lorge, Joong-Yang Moon, Kwon soo Park, Dongwon Shin, Pierre-Étienne Will.…
