REVIEW/ENDORSEMENT:

This book contains a lot of great information about how Islam and Muslims played a huge part in the development of the modern world. It is well written and beautifully bound. A great book for anyone who has an interest in world history.
Dana McKinney, from Amazon

Excellent overview of the many artistic, cultural, and scientific contributions of Islamic civilization to the westerrn world.
Edward Sullivan, from Goodreads

The books we read, the music we play, the words we speak... all were shaped, at least in part, by Islam," writes Barnard in this concise and eloquent exploration of the far-reaching influence of Islam over the centuries. Each spread is devoted to a different subject (writing, Arabic numerals, architecture, astronomy, agriculture), while captioned spot art homes in on specific inventions and innovations (the zither, the astrolabe, advanced medical knowledge). Though the focus is on Islam's manifold cultural contributions, Barnard closes with a chilling reminder of the ways in which 16th-century Europeans, led by Petrarch, worked to claim such advancements as their own and obscure their origins. Ages 812.
