Reviews

'This book surpasses almost every other book that deals with science in Islamic civilization, because it does not stop the narrative with the classical presumed golden age of that civilization, but encompasses the whole range of scientific activities from the very beginning until our own time. It is comprehensive, and far more interested in the cultural, social, economic, and political details than other books of its genre.' George Saliba, Columbia University, USA
