I'm a Baha'i. I defend Muhammad and the Quran because they are GOOD. People attack Islam and try to show its nothing but evil terrorists and never contributed anything to the world!! Now I have another tool to point out the beauty of Islamic civilisation and how it enriched our current day lives. To hate on Muslims just because of a few evil terrorists grieves my heart because Muslims are a WONDERFUL people with a BEAUTIFUL culture and language and have done MUCH for humanity. Please don't get caught up in the Muslim bashing it's really inhumane to blame an entire civilisation for the crimes of a few.
I expected this book to be words. I thought 'maybe there will be a picture or two'. FULL of pictures!! Very nice. This is AWESOME AGAIN thank you AMAZON!! I'm using Kindle on iPad and the pictures are terrific. For $8!! Let's celebrate the beauty in all races, cultures and faiths and the gifts they have given humanity.
This book corrects a lot of injustices and accurately shows how Islamic civilisation has and does contribute to our lives. We are all connected by our common humanity so let's look at the good in each and celebrate that and be united. Gabriel love to you. And thanks for making this available on Amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars A CORRUPTED ENCYCLOPEDIA
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 4 July 2018

I gave up reading this volume because of the proliferation of errors in spelling grammar and words selection. Consider page one; spelling( should be Andalusia or Spanish Andalucia) - grammar (contraction it's instead of possessive its).
The errors continue throughout. If a so-called academic is too proud or stupid to employ a competent proofreader and editor, his books display, for me, a lack of credibility.
Please revise the text.

I really enjoy this book; I bought the paperback version and have relish flicking through it as I relax on the couch. The content is well researched and varied and covers a period of human history that at present seems to be somewhat forgotten. Lots of graphics make it an easy read (my 7 year old enjoys going through it as well). I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get up to speed with topic in a short space of time.
