About this product
Product Information
A myth-shattering view of the Islamic world's myriad scientific innovations and the role they played in sparking the European Renaissance. Many of the innovations that we think of as hallmarks of Western science had their roots in the Arab world of the middle ages, a period when much of Western Christendom lay in intellectual darkness. Jim al- Khalili, a leading British-Iraqi physicist, resurrects this lost chapter of history, and given current East-West tensions, his book could not be timelier. With transporting detail, al-Khalili places readers in the hothouses of the Arabic Enlightenment, shows how they led to Europe's cultural awakening, and poses the question: Why did the Islamic world enter its own dark age after such a dazzling flowering?

Item was initially backordered/out-of-stock, they kept in touch with me and let me know a timeframe for when it would be back in stock. It eventually came, as advertised, in good condition and at a reasonable price. Thank you!

Easy transaction. They do take over a week to ship. This is mentioned in the fine print, but can be unexpected.

The card & envelope book is in excellent condition - just as described in the listing - and shipping was fast, considering that it came from New Zealand. (I’m in California.) I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again.
