importance of Islamic influence in Western culture and society,
Ghazanfar (emeritus economics, U. of Idaho) cites and substantially
annotates more than 600 English-language books and articles
pertaining to Islamic history, contributions to knowledge, and the
impact of that knowledge once it was assimilated in medieval
Europe. Most of the works were published during the second half of
the 20th century. Students at any level, journalists, policy
makers, and general readers can find here an entry into further
study or just a general overview.
