Gutes Ex.; der farb. illustr. Einband stw. leicht berieben. - ISSN 0003-7567. - Englisch. - Because Saudi Arabia and Aramco - the Arabian American Oil Company - have been so closely associated with petroleum, one of the world's chief sources of energy - and with each other- it is particularly appropriate that this special issue of Aramco World magazine be devoted to the story of Islamic science in both the Golden Age and the modern age. It is petroleum - in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and other Islamic countries - that is funding what may yet be a significant resurgence in science and technology throughout these regions - and what is already a massive effort to provide scholars and technicians for the resurgence. It is also timely. This month, in Tennessee, the Knoxville World's Fair - the Knoxville International Energy Exposition - opens to an expected crowd of millions. No one issue could possibly cover the full history of Islamic science, of course; the scientific achievements of the Golden Age of Islam are too numerous and too diverse. Nor is it easy to summarize the scientific revival in the Islamic world today, since it includes elements from technology as well as science and seems to be cropping up in most unexpected ways - and places - and since the data is too diffuse and too raw to evaluate. Instead, therefore, we have chosen to present highlights from history and samplings of present developments. We are fully aware that they are neither complete nor comprehensive, but hope that they will suggest, nonetheless, the accomplishments of the past and the hopes of the future. - The Editors (Vorwort) // INHALT : Science :The Islamic Legacy ----- SCIENCE IN THE GOLDEN AGE ----- THE BOOK OF ANIMALS ----- SCIENCE IN AL-ANDALUS ----- THE BODLEIAN REMEMBERS ----- SCIENCE IN THE MODERN AGE. // Saudi Aramco ... ist derzeit (2019) die größte Erdölfördergesellschaft der Welt mit Unternehmenssitz im saudi-arabischen Dhahran. ...
