We often think that people from a thousand years ago were living in the Dark Ages. But from the 7th century onward in Muslim civilization there were amazing advances and inventions that still influence our everyday lives. People living in the Muslim world saw what the Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, Greek, and Romans had discovered and spent the next one thousand years adding new developments and ideas. Inventors created marvels like the elephant water clock, explorers drew detailed maps of the world, women made scientific breakthroughs and founded universities, architects built huge domes larger than anywhere else on earth, astronomers mapped the stars and so much more! This book takes the wining formula of facts, photos, and fun, and applies it to this companion book to the 1001 Inventions exhibit from the Foundation for Science, Technology, and Civilization. Each page is packed with information on this little-known history, but also shows how it still applies to our world today.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“National Geographic has developed a book that's as packed with information as an encyclopedia but as much fun to read as a comic book… Readers interested in the value Muslim civilizations have added to our global village will be hard-pressed to find a more stimulating introduction than this one.” -- Kirkus Reviews


“This heavily illustrated volume…stands on its own as an accessible history of the golden era that spanned from the 7th to the 17th century.” –Boston Sunday Globe

This is a wonderful book for both Muslims and non Muslims alike. I am a 2nd generation American Muslim father of 3. Sharing this book with them was very nice. They enjoy flipping through it. Its also a great coffee table book for when friends come by. It contains many great bits of information that I didn't know. Its also a very nice, constructive tool to counter a lot of the negativity we have going on in the news and around the world. I highly recommend it to parents and teachers.

4.0 out of 5 stars It would make a great resource for Muslim schools and homes
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2016
Verified Purchase
This is the children's edition of the book, and as a result has more pictures and less facts. It would make a great resource for Muslim schools and homes, and is full of forgotten facts about ancient Muslim civilization that all kids needs to learn. My only problem with this version of the book is that it is too brief, and the longer version is needed to explain many points that are only hinted at in this book.

Overall, well designed, easy to read, fun, and full of amazing facts and images.
