Embark with this exciting book and prepare to start a journey of discovery through centuries of science and technology into what we call an Islamic Spain. What is important to note is that the Islamic conception of God (Tawhid) made possible a major advance in scientific thinking during the period of the eighth to the fifteenth centuries in Islamic lands, while Europe lay mostly dormant during the Dark Ages. Developments would only appear to have occurred in Europe where there was direct contact with Islamic knowledge in Spain.
