Illustrated Encyclopedia of Golden Age of Science and Civilization in Islam: The Origins and Sustainable Ethical Applications of Practical Empirical Experimental Scientific Method Kindle Edition

I'm a Baha'i. I defend Muhammad and the Quran because they are GOOD. People attack Islam and try to show its nothing but evil terrorists and never contributed anything to the world!! Now I have another tool to point out the beauty of Islamic civilisation and how it enriched our current day lives. To hate on Muslims just because of a few evil terrorists grieves my heart because Muslims are a WONDERFUL people with a BEAUTIFUL culture and language and have done MUCH for humanity. Please don't get caught up in the Muslim bashing it's really inhumane to blame an entire civilisation for the crimes of a few.I expected this book to be words. I thought 'maybe there will be a picture or two'. FULL of pictures!! Very nice. This is AWESOME AGAIN thank you AMAZON!! I'm using Kindle on iPad and the pictures are terrific. For $8!! Let's celebrate the beauty in all races, cultures and faiths and the gifts they have given humanity.This book corrects a lot of injustices and accurately shows how Islamic civilisation has and does contribute to our lives. We are all connected by our common humanity so let's look at the good in each and celebrate that and be united. Gabriel love to you. And thanks for making this available on Amazon.

It’s a scientifically peer reviewed evidence based major work that cautiously keeps to the middle ground highlighting the positive achievements of all scientists whether Greek, Islamic, Indian, Chinese or European, while focusing on the Experimental Method as deciphered by Alhazen and his scientific peers. Religious and cultural bias is avoided and emphasis is laid on consensus for a globally shared responsibility. BBC and National Geographic have made various documentaries on this subject that are further detailed and peer referenced in this monumental scientific encyclopedia. George Sarton’s work, History of Science, is specially referred to including various other internationally renowned historians of science. Further, it gives solutions for creating a much desired ethical scientific and sustainable perspective.

I really enjoy this book; I bought the paperback version and have relish flicking through it as I relax on the couch. The content is well researched and varied and covers a period of human history that at present seems to be somewhat forgotten. Lots of graphics make it an easy read (my 7 year old enjoys going through it as well). I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get up to speed with topic in a short space of time.

I gave up reading this volume because of the proliferation of errors in spelling grammar and words selection. Consider page one; spelling( should be Andalusia or Spanish Andalucia) - grammar (contraction it's instead of possessive its).The errors continue throughout. If a so-called academic is too proud or stupid to employ a competent proofreader and editor, his books display, for me, a lack of credibility.Please revise the text.

I love the book, it is well written and very deep research has done on the topics. It has very good references which no one can deny.

All perferct

For someone who is avidly interested in the history of Scientific Advancement [or Ideas] by muslim scholars/scientists of the past and present, Gabriel Iqbal has wonderfully illustrated how some of the most [and slightly less] prominent scholars and scientists of Islam' have altered and affected civilisation through their ideas and discoveries. A remarkable compilation of achievements by these eminent people spanning fields like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Medicine and more.The ultimate goal of the encyclopaedia is very admirable. The author's desire for a sustainable future, peace and understanding shines through the book.Overall, it is a recommended if you are looking to gain a quick yet holistic introduction into the Scientific History of Islam, and how science as a whole can lead us to a better and peaceful future.

This is a Masterpiece work from an authoritative author in the subject of Scientific History. I have attended some lectures given by the author on the subject of Science and Civilization that gave me fresh insights on the history of the empirical scientific method and human civilization. The author has created a fresh paradigm shift in our understanding of the history of science and sustainable development for a more ethical application of science and the betterment of humanity on the basis of coexistence and responsibility to take care of the balance within nature.
