Description

Review

“National Geographic has developed a book that’s as packed with information as an encyclopedia but as much fun to read as a comic book… Readers interested in the value Muslim civilizations have added to our global village will be hard-pressed to find a more stimulating introduction than this one.” — Kirkus Reviews“This heavily illustrated volume…stands on its own as an accessible history of the golden era that spanned from the 7th to the 17th century.” -Boston Sunday Globe
