Title: An AWAIR Pick
Product review: During the Golden Age of Islam (7th through 17th centuries AD), Muslim philosophers and poets, artists and scientists, princes and laborers created a unique culture that has influenced societies on every continent. This book offers a fully illustrated, highly accessible introduction to an important aspect of that culture - the scientific achievements of medieval Islam. Explores cosmology, mathematics, astronomy, astrology, geography, medicine, natural sciences, alchemy, and optics.Teachers: If you're "doing" the Medieval Banquet in the Alhambra Palace, you'll need this source for information on many of your "guests." Very suitable for 7th grade - adult, social studies/science/math.
