In the following, we republish two recent and very elogious reviews of 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World published by FSTC in 2006 (Editor-in-Chief Salim al-Hassani). These reviews were published by Carl Kessler in CarlsBooks on 9 July 9 2009 and by Kerim Balci in the Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman on 14 June 2009. They show that the message of the book continues to filter smoothly in the media, giving rise to large adhesion from various circles, and from individuals, all seeking more mutual respect and understanding.

Muslim Heritage Interview Series - Interview 10: Professor Rabie E. Abdel-Halim |
|
By: FSTC Limited, Fri 19 June, 2009 |
|
In this last interview that closes this series of Muslim Heritage Interviews, Professor Rabie El Said Abdel-Halim, eminent expert in urology, poet and well known historian of Islamic medicine, details his passions for medicine and its history. Beginning from the start of his career as doctor and historian, he shows how he was inspired by the sentence of George Sarton that if we do not understand the history of scientific knowledge we will not be able to add to it. Professor Abdel-Halim describes in detail the contributions of the physicians and medical authors of the Islamic civilisation to various fields of medicine, from urology, to anaesthesia, surgery, anatomy, and others. For him, one of the most inspiring lessons we learn from the history of medicine and the history of science is that these disciplines broaden our world viewpoint and outlook to life. A thoughtful study of the history of science is bound to strengthen a unique feeling of brotherhood, unity and universality of mankind.
