Reviews
Lach and Van Kley have done a good job trying to discern the relationship between the culture and technology of western Europe and that of the Far and Middle East. It serves as a counterblast to those arguing for massive European inventiveness being sent to "enlighten" the rest of the world community. The prose is not particularly spritely but it was a clear summation of the questions raised by the differentiations apparent in the cultures .
