      abstract = {The first of its kind, this collection of critical essays  opens up new venues in the comparative study of science and  culture by focusing on the formative decades of modern  China in the late nineteenth and first half of the  twentieth century. It provides a wide-ranging examination  of the cultural and intellectual history of science and  technology in modern China.From anti-imperialism to the  technology of Chinese writing, the commodification of  novelties to the rise of the modern professional scientist,  new lexica and appropriations of the past, the contributors  map out a transregional and global circuitry of modern  knowledge and practical know-how, nationalism and the  amalgamation of new social practices.},
