Pathfinders: The Golden age of Arabic Science
Jim Al-Khalili will explore the legacy of individual Arab scholars and show how they have advanced science. He looks to set the record straight and examine the fascinating breadth of Islamic learning from algebra and chemistry to geography, astronomy and philosophy. Along the way, he will guide you across the Middle East and uncover the marvels of one of the most prolific libraries in history, The House of Wisdom, in Baghdad.
