If you are interested in history, specifically the Renaissance and its origins, this book might be a great read for you. Through significant research, Menzies provides compelling evidence that challenges the traditional, Western-centric view on the Renaissance. His argument is centered on the idea that it was, in fact, a sophisticated delegation from China that arrived in Tuscany in 1434 wielding knowledge of math, printing, genetics, and much more that sparked the revolution. If you want to learn about the origins of Western civilization and how the meeting of two great cultures shaped the modern world as we know it, this book could be an excellent pick.

In the early 2000s, the central government of China encouraged all of the nation’s registered minorities to “salvage, sort, synthesize, and elevate” folk medical knowledges in an effort to create local health care systems comparable to the nationally supported institutions of traditional Chinese medicine. Gathering Medicines bears witness to this remarkable moment of knowledge development while sympathetically introducing the myriad therapeutic traditions of southern China.Over a period of six years, Judith Farquhar and Lili Lai worked with seven minority nationality groups in China’s southern mountains, observing how medicines were gathered and local healing systems codified. Gathering Medicines shares their intimate view of how people understand ethnicity, locality, the body, and nature. This ethnography of knowledge diversities in multiethnic China is a testament to the rural wisdom of mountain healers, one that theorizes, from the ground up, the dynamic encounters between formal statist knowledge and the popular authority of the wild.
