Although the contributions of Islamic civilisations to science have
long been recognised, the application of this scientific expertise
to technology had been neglected until the publication of this then
pioneering 1986 text. The book begins to remedy that neglect, first
by celebrating the richness and ingenuity of the world of Islamic
technology and then by pointing the way forward to its more
detailed exploration. Lavishly illustrated, this book explores the
major technological achievements of Islamic civilisations, namely
the public works of civil engineering, the machines and mechanical
devices which served to control water, provide power, serve as
instruments or to amuse.
