Knowledge and Power: Science in World History… by William E. Burns
This brief book does not cover the subject of its subtitle. Instead it provides a handful of case studies of science in different societies in different historical periods. For example, one of its case studies is the actions and interactions of a series of Jesuit missionaries/scientists in early modern China.
