Recenzijos

Science and Islam, a fascinating and clearly written book. -- New Scientist And, as this impressive book by Eshan Masood, which accompanies a major television series, reveals, this intersection between science and religion also permeated the history of Islam. -- Geographical Magazine This is a delightful and approachable book, packed with surprises and treats and offered by a writer whose passion for the subject does not daunt his objectivity. -- Wharf Refreshingly different ....Masoods [ book] emphasis on context, combined with his easy prose, measured self-confident tone, and an effort to inject compelling human drama into the narrative, makes the present book for the most part wonderfully captivating. -- Arif Babul, Observatory Magazine
