Illustrates how Islam helped bridge the 800-year gap between the fall of Rome and the onset of the European Renaissance. Describes how in the expanded Islamic empire, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian scholars learned about culture from all points of the known world. Tells how these scholars then passed along this historical information together with new scientific discoveries and helped make the period of Islamic dominance the "torchbearer" of advanced civilization and culture.
