China will offer more than enough brilliant figures for us to admire, but that will not be the entire story. Many of China's inventions evolved over great time scales, spread by diffusion, and were anonymously perfected over time. As China's fortunes rose and fell through the centuries, geniuses in science, politics, and warfare would alternate with unknown inventors and workers solving problems. People would debate the most virtuous way to run a state, or simply seize it outright. People discussed China's place in the world, the citizen's role in the country, and the natural world's place in the cosmos. Each of these questions spurred people to discover and invent with STEM--and in the process, shape China's destiny"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 $a Grades: 7 to 12. 650 0 $a Science $z China $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Technology $z China $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Engineering $z China $x History $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Mathematics $z China $x History $v Juvenile literature. 651 0 $a China $x Civilization $v Juvenile literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021101.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C11F62E2673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
