Inspired by stunning art objects and cultural artifacts housed in the British Museum, this lavishly illustrated work offers penetrating insights into the history and culture of the Islamic world from its origins in the seventh century to the present day.
Images of clay tiles and cooking pots, golden vessels and fine silk, miniature paintings and scientific instruments, jewelry, manuscripts, coins, and more tell a story of societies and peoples-how they lived and what they valued-in an area extending from west Africa to southeast Asia. Told in six chronologically and thematically ordered chapters, the narrative addresses the earliest history of Islam, trade and cultural exchange, the age of empires, literature and music, and the modern world.
