Description
When Caliph Abdul Malik made Arabic the official language of his culturally diverse empire he inadvertently laid the foundation for a scientific revolution. In this program physics professor Jim Al-Khalili travels through Iran, Tunisia, and Spain to tell the story of the big leap in knowledge that took place in the Islamic world between the 8th and 14th centuries. From the remarkable Translation Movement - the copying of technical manuscripts gathered from all the libraries of the known world - to groundbreaking mathematician Al-Khwarizmi and the pioneering physician Ibn Sina, Al-Khalili sheds light on the far-reaching impact of medieval Islamic science.
