Paradigm Publishers, 44 Linden St., Brookline, MA, 02146.

Shambala,

The publications from these presses are uneven in quality, and intended largely for a popular audience, but
you might find a few of them useful if a particular title is needed, e.g., a translation of a particularly important
traditional medical text, etc.

Journals on Chinese Science and Medicine:

Chinese Science. A relatively reliable academic journal publishing research which began publishing out of the
University of Pennsylvania in the mid-1970s.

See also the journal Journal of Chinese Religions, which publishes a substantial amount of important
scholarship on Taoism and other movements important to early Chinese science and medical or healing
practics.

Journals on other indigenous (non-European) scientific traditions.

Science and Empires

Appropriate Technologies.

If you have any trouble finding any of these books, you might try a bookstore in Pasadena on Colorado
Avenue near Pasadena City College, "Oriental Books." The man who works there may seem unfriendly, but he
has the best collection in California of used and new books on Asia.
