About this item
| Description: | This lecture tells the history of one of the most misunderstood, yet rich and fertile periods in science: the Islamic scientific revolution between 700 and 1500 AD. Science writer Ehsan Masood charts a religious empire's scientific heyday, its decline, and the many debates that now surround it. |
