Overview

""Scientist of the Islamic Era"" is a book series encompassing eight volumes; the present book is volume 3 titled ""Social Scientists of the Islamic Era"". It covers 74 Social Scientists encompassing philosophers, historians, physical geographers, and qadhis, as well as the conventional sociology, political science, man-agement sciences, economics, business, trade, anthropol-ogy, and linguists including letters. The period of coverage is part 1 of the Islamic Era, from AD 610 to 1400. They com-manded exceptional breadth in their learning and deepest insights in their specializations; they greatly strengthened the foundations and expanded the frontiers of the fields of knowledge in the Social Sciences. Each scientist is briefly described. First, the name of the scientist is disambiguated, and an attempt is made to correct the misrepresentations common in the European translations. Salient scientific contributions of each scientist are briefly highlighted, a difficult task because of the fact that many of these scientists were polymaths. For each scientist we have provided a biographical summary to help picture their love and craving for knowledge, and the motivations and opportunities for them to do their research. It is our objective that this third volume in the series will inform the Muslims about the wealth of their scientific heritage, and the next generations will feel inspired to surpass the excellence of their ancestors to enrich their heritage further, and be, like their ancestors, the flag bearers of world civilization in the social sciences. Muslims are now excelling in research with superb agility, and this series on Scientists of the Islamic Era will further stimulate this Renaissance in the Muslim world.
