"The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freigthed with truth and beauty."

| |  | | | In Brief
Islam's long, rich tradition and often far-flung and exotic locales have been explored again and again in the pages of National Geographic magazine, and this volume revisits them all, from the very first article in 1906 to the most recent at the turn of a new millennium. From Islam's holiest sites in Mecca and Jerusalem to its farthest outposts in Asia, from the modern, mountain tribesmen of Afghanistan to the great astronomers of Saladin's day, this dramatic, lavishly illustrated collection of revealing articles presents a historical and geographical portrait of the Islamic world and a vivid glimpse of how it has appeared to Western eyes for almost a century.
| | | | From The Publisher
Explore the rich history and the many faces of the Islamic world with National Geographic as your guide in this anthology of vividly illustrated articles drawn from the magazine's pages -- from the earliest years of the 20th century to the dawn of a new millennium.
A timely look at a timeless culture, The World of Islam looks back on a century of classic National Geographic coverage of Islamic culture all over the world. As always a wonderful mix of photographs, narratives, maps, and more, these chronologically-arranged articles will take you from the Afghan frontier in the fierce days of Rudyard Kipling to the stunning mosques and minarets of Mecca at the start of a new millennium. Islam's long, rich tradition and often far-flung and exotic locales have been explored again and again in the pages of National Geographic, and this volume revisits them all, from the very first article in 1906 to the present day. This dramatic, profusely illustrated expedition collects two dozen pieces that add up to a historical and geographical portrait of Islam and a vivid glimpse of how it has appeared to Western eyes for almost a century.
