Description

Text in Arabic. From Musa Al-Khwarizmi who developed algebra in 9th-century Baghdad to Al-Jazari, a 13th-century Turkish engineer whose achievements include the crank, the camshaft and the reciprocating piston, Science and Islam tells the story of one of historys most misunderstood yet rich and fertile periods in science: the extraordinary Islamic scientific revolution between 700 and 1400 CE.

Science writer Ehsan Masood weaves the stories of these and other scientists into a compelling narrative, taking the reader on a journey through the Islamic empires of the Middle Ages, and their contributions to science in Western Europe.
