Over the next centuries, the geniuses of Muslim society will thrust the boundaries of knowledge forward to such a degree that their innovations still shape civilizations to this day. The ... achievements of these men and women influenced the development of modern mathematics, science, engineering, and medicine. [This book] sheds new light on this golden era that was once lost to so many, and celebrates the heritage that we all share"--Publisher's description.
