"The Man Who Loved China" | The Kojo Nnamdi Show

Most in American and England have never heard his name. But in China, every child knows the name Joseph Needham -- a British scientist who wrote the West's definitive encyclopedia on China. Beginning in 1943, Needham criss-crossed China researching the country's science and technological history. Award-winning author Simon Winchester joins Kojo with the story of the man who helped shape Western perceptions of China.
