Historical Atlas of the Islamic World

A timely and fascinating look at Islamic civilization.


At a time when interest in the Islamic faith is increasing and understanding its origins and development is becoming more vital, this book provides a fascinating, comprehensive description of the religion's long and dynamic history. Historical Atlas of the Islamic World provides a survey of the history of the Islamic world and of Islamic civilization from the time of the Prophet Mohammed until the consolidation of the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

Approximately 70 full-color maps and detailed commentaries locate each Islamic region in its historical context, with special attention paid to Arabic developments in science, art, and literature. The book also contains 160 carefully chosen color photographs of superb examples of Islamic art, architecture, and artifacts. Many of the photographs are reconstructions of the most important events mentioned in the text, and timelines help readers place events, people, and developments in relation to one another.
