highly readable account...Of course, it would be foolish to suggest the Adamson's aim in writing this excellent book is a desire to discern the significance of al-Kindi for the present Muslim world...it is difficult to read and interpret anything of the rich intellectual heritage of the Muslim world without an uneasy present-mindedness.
