Books by Joseph (Gonville and Caius College Needham

The Gunpowder Epic is one of three planned publications on military technology within Dr Needham's immense undertaking.

The sixth volume of Dr Needham's immense undertaking, like the fourth and fifth, is subdivided into parts for ease of presentation and assimilation, each part bound and published separately. The volume as a whole covers the subjects of biology and biological technology (which includes botany and agriculture, zoology, all aspects of medicine, and pharmaceutics).
