Title: A compact rationale for ethnocentrism
Review: This book looks at a largely European science through the eyes of a civilization that hit its peak during the European dark ages. Astronomy mainly owes its foundation to Ptolemy and Sir Isdsac Newton. Neither are covered in this book. Reconciling conventional Muslim veiws and those of western science lacks any discussion of the intellectual foundations of either. Particularly lacking is any attempt to define scientific method in any terms that would be familiar to Bacon and Galileo. Certainly, there is ne discussion on the level of Sir Karl popper. Indeed this is a Muslin view of astronomy. Scientific method is much broader.
