This book is intended as a journey back in time, to a very special period in world history: from the eighth century to the fifteenth century in Andalusia (Spain); where an Islamic civilisation shone, and a cultural and intellectual revolution developed. Where there was no separation between rigorous scientific methodology, wisdom and faith. Nor was the East separated from the West; nor a Muslim from a Jew or Christian. It was there that the European Renaissance actually began, and from where it developed.
