| Abstract | "This is a book about two of the most outstanding thinkers to have lived between ancient Greece and the European Renaissance: Ibn Sina and Biruni. Both are known to specialists who have explored and analyzed their writings (what remains of them) for 150 years. But the general public has yet to discover these men and to appreciate their achievements. I hope this will help in that effort"-- Provided by publisher. |
