About the Book

Shigeru Nakayama has been at the forefront of redirecting conventional East Asian science and technology, arguing that 'orientation of science' refers not only to the direction of science but also implies a turning to Eastern science. Recently, he has been arguing for implementation of a 'Service Science', linked to rights and needs of mankind.
About the Author: Shigeru Nakayama graduated from Hiroshima Higher School in 1948 (physical science major) and from the University of Tokyo in 1951 with an astrophysics major. He then went to the USA as a Fulbright Scholar and was awarded a Ph.D. in the history of science and learning (history of universities) at Harvard in 1959. During his graduate studies, he worked with Thomas Kuhn at Harvard in 1955-56. In 1957 he worked with Joseph Needham at Cambridge, and in 1958 continued his research at the Institute of Humanistic Science, Kyoto University. In 1960, he joined the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, University of Tokyo, remaining there until his retirement in 1989. He then moved to the School of International Business Administration, Kanagawa University, where he was Professor of the STS Centre until 2000. Following his retirement he was made Professor Emeritus at Kanagawa and continues to be active in both writing and teaching, becoming Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Science, Technology and Society in July 2002 and Visiting Professor at UCLA in September 2008.
