Islamic Civilization in Thirty Lives: The First 1,000 Years

Distinguished professor Chase F. Robinson draws on the long tradition in Muslim scholarship of commemorating in writing the biographies of notable figures. He weaves together the lives of religious thinkers, political leaders, lawmakers, writers and philosophers to create a rich narrative of Islamic civilization — a vivid picture of life in all arenas of the pre-modern Muslim world. There will be a book signing following the event.
