"This glorious book overflows with the great ideas of the Muslim middle ages. From Al-Jazari and his elegant clocks and al- Kindi and Ibn al-Haytham with their revolutionary optical theories, experiments, and books, to the astronomers who navigated across the desert by the stars, and the map-makers who put north at the bottom, every page is a mine of joyous information. There are even recipes to try out, and everything is beautifully illustrated. I wish I had had this book fifty years ago." ~ Adam Hart-Davis; Photographer, Writer and TV Science Presenter of BBC Series ‘What the Ancients Did for Us’.
1001 Inventions is a global educational initiative exploring a thousand years of missing history and the Muslim contributions to building foundations of Modern Civilisation. It is a non-religious and non-political project seeking to allow the positive aspects of progress in science and technology to act as a bridge in understanding the interdependence of communities throughout human history.
