Foreword by Ziauddin Sardar.

Tells the virtually unknown story of the extraordinary Islamic scientific revolution between 700 and 1250 AD.

This book tells the amazing story of one of history's most misunderstood yet rich and fertile periods of scientific discovery. An enlightening, enthralling and in-depth exploration, it charts a religious empire's scientific heyday, its intellectual demise and the numerous debates that now surround it. Between the 8th and 14th centuries, scholars and researchers working in Islamic territories pushed the boundaries of knowledge in astronomy, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, medicine, philosophy and more. They invented clocks and cameras, discovered how blood circulates, created algebra, and even found time to debate the origins of life. Science journalist Ehsan Masood describes the circumstances which created this revolution in scientific thinking, the places where they occurred, the scientists themselves and their awe-inspiring achievements.
