DEAR PARENTS
We all have studied the history of different cultures but have sadly forgotten our own Muslims history. Majority of us have either ignored or forgotten completely. Let’s go back in time to know about our scientists, engineers and physicians and their discoveries in the field of science and technology. They were pioneers that laid the foundation of technology and science, so let’s help ourselves and our children to know and learn Muslims history and their inventions.

“This heavily illustrated volume… stand on its own as an accessible history of the golden era that spanned from the 7th to 17th century”- (Boston Sunday globe)

National Geographic has developed a book that’s as packed with information as an encyclopedia but as much fun to read as a comic book.
We often think that people from a thousand years ago were living in the Dark Ages. But from the 7th century onward in Muslim civilization, there were amazing advances and inventions that still influence our everyday lives.
People living in the Muslim world saw what the Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, Greek, and Romans had discovered and spent the next one thousand years adding new developments and ideas.
Inventors created marvels like the elephant water clock, explorers drew detailed maps of the world, women made scientific breakthroughs and founded universities, architects built huge domes larger than anywhere else on earth, astronomers mapped the stars and so much more!

This book takes the winning formula of facts, photos, and fun, and applies it to this companion book to the 1001 Inventions exhibit from the Foundation for Science, Technology, and Civilization.
Each page is packed with information on this little-known history, but also shows how it still applies to our world today.
