“This glorious book overflows with the magnificent ideas of the Muslim middle ages. . . . I wish I had had this book fifty years ago."—Adam Hart-Davis, photographer, writer, and TV science presenter of the BBC series What the Ancients Did for Us
What do coffee beans, torpedoes, surgical scalpels, arches, and observatories all have in common?
Were Leonardo da Vinci’s flight ideas originals?
Who devised the casing for pill capsules, and where did Fibonacci learn to flex his mathematical fingers?
The answers to these many questions and more can be found in this book.
