About the Author
Anne Blanchard currently thinks up and oversees books on various themes, occasionally writing them herself. She was formerly a social science and children's book editor. Another of her brainstorms, The Big Book of Dummies, Rebels and Other Geniuses, has also been published by Enchanted Lion Books. Emmanuel Cerisier uses pencils and watercolors to create wonderfully precise, detailed and realistic illustrations.
Reviews
"Our schools should begin to teach the histories, cultures, arts and languages of the Islamic nations."-Wendell Berry, Poet, Writer, Farmer "An excellent little book aimed essentially at younger readers, but informative for those of any age. Initially, the author provides some welcome historical context. . . The focus then turns to Arab science and invention in a bustling, cosmopolitan society unified by a common language: Arabic. This book has many excellent illustrations and insets that expand on the main topics presented."--Science
