As he chronicles the Golden Ages of Islam, beginning in 570 a.d. with the birth of Muhammad, and resonating today, he introduces scholars like Ibn Al-Haytham, Ibn Sina, Al-Tusi, Al-Khwarizmi, and Omar Khayyam--empirical thinkers who revolutionized the mathematics, astronomy, and medicine of their time and paved the way for Newton, Copernicus, and many others. And he reminds us that inspired leaders from Muhammad to Suleiman the Magnificent championed religious tolerance, encouraged intellectual inquiry, and sponsored brilliant artistic, architectural, and literary works. For anyone seeking to understand the major role played by the early Muslim world in influencing modern society, this book provides new insight not only into Islam's historic achievements but also the ancient resentments that fuel today's bitter conflicts.--From publisher description. 0aIslamic civilization. 0aCivilization, WesternxIslamic influences. 0aMuslim scientists. 0aMuslim artists. 0aRenaissance.413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0906/2009292499.html  a7bcbccorigcopd2encipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBK  c15548d15548  001040708NFICaCIPSbCIPScGENd2013-10-01l0o909.09767 MIC 2008pCIPS0001365r2013-12-04w2013-12-04yBK
