1001 Inventions: The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Civilization (Paperback)

The beautifully illustrated volume mirrors the original self-published book in stunning illustrations, information, and scope, but has a more accessible presentation and price to appeal to both trade consumers and exhibit visitors. The book explores scientific and technological history in Islamic culture from health care to astronomy to reveal the innovations of Muslim society that have shaped our modern world. Complete with a foldout timeline and map illustrating the worldly contributions of Muslims, remarkable photographs and colorful illustrations, artifacts, historic documents and drawings, this book not only reveals 1001 Muslim inventions, but provides insight into the everyday life of the historic Muslim society and related Western growth. It will appeal to the audience of Michael Morgan's top seller Lost History as well as to those who scooped up the companion books to the Afghan Gold and Terra Cotta Warriors exhibits.
