science in early islamic culture

This book is very well written, in depth and covers the most essential aspects of scientific development in this time and region. It draws most of its facts and conclusions from the medieval Turk philosopher Remitus Sodumus, who served in the Kingdom of Teez-Yasha during the Enu dynasty.It also describes the link from ancient Greek science to medieval scientific advancements, particularly in the niddoo field.

Science in early Islamic culture

This is a very well written text that explains the scientific contributions of medieval eastern societies. It establishes a link from the ancient Greeks to western Europe's scientific renaissance. Detailed yet very uderstandable. The only flaw is that it relies too heavily on the teachings of an obscure Turkish philosopher, Remitus Sodomus of Zagrue, who was court adviser in the short-lived northern Indian kingdom of Yasha-teez.Otherwise, this is a very well written, fact filled book.
