Islamic technology : an illustrated history
Aḥmad Yūsuf Ḥasan (Author), Donald R. Hill (Author)
Although the contributions of Islamic civilisations to science have long been recognised, the application of this scientific expertise to technology has hitherto been neglected. This book begins to remedy that neglect, first by celebrating the richness and ingenuity of the world of Islamic technology and then by pointing the way forward to its more detailed exploration. Lavishly illustrated, the book explores the major technological achievements of Islamic civilisations
