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 wining 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.

The kids loved it.
Such an important book full of interesting information. Wish the fonts were a little bigger for the little ones so they can read on their own.

I liked the book and enjoyed reading it as an adult
I liked the book and enjoyed reading it as an adult. My son liked reading about the origins of the math, astronomy,clocks, instruments etc., it talks about a lot of interesting info, displayed in brief way but informative enough so that you don’t get bored. Gave it as a gift twice already.

Well written, amazing pictures and illustrations
Brilliant textbook for children and adults alike. The Islamic civilization was a golden age for humanity. This book covers over a thousand years of economic, scientific and medical advancements during this era. Vivid colours and illustrations are used to show a range of inventions and discoveries. Whilst vast majority of Europe was plunged in the 'dark ages' the Muslim civilization was flourishing. This part of history is seriously neglected in European education, which is a shame because it was through Islamic Spain (Al Andalusia) that the discoveries and inventions were translated and kicked off the enlightenment era in Europe.
