	American Journal of Chinese Medicine: Science and Civilisation in China. - Review - book review
		Needham's volume on Chinese medicine had been long awaited and many hoped that it would surpass his work on the history of Chinese science because of the expertise of Needham and Lu in biochemistry and nutritional sciences which are more closely related to modern medicine than the physical sciences.
		Needham had already pointed out in 1974 in SCC V.2 xviii ff and yet again in 1976 in V.3 xx ff that there was never complete uniformity of views between himself and his `collaborators,' citing Sivin as a case in point.
		Needham's approach may not be fashionable today, according to Sivin, but it was this approach that had gained him recognition in the professional world of modern medicine.
