There is no better introduction to science and engineering in the medieval Islamic world … It is to be highly recommended to anyone interested in the medieval Islamic world. As Hill suggests throughout the book, science and technology affected nearly every facet of medieval Islamic society, as, for example, timekeeping, the proper orientation during prayer, metalworking, transport, food production, supplies of drinking water, military capabilities, systems of coinage, and economic exchanges. This survey by Hill provides an important introduction to a fundamental, but often overlooked, aspect of medieval Islamic culture.
