    Extractions: Alcohol and the Distillation of Wine in Arabic Sources From the Eighth Century Onwards Ahmad Y. al-Hassan The distillation of wine and the properties of alcohol were known to Islamic chemists from the eighth century . The prohibition of wine in Islam did not mean that wine was not produced or consumed or that Arab alchemists did not subject it to their distillation processes. Jabir ibn Hayyan described a cooling technique which can be applied to the distillation of alcohol. Some historians of chemistry and technology assumed that Arab chemists did not know the distillation of wine because these historians were not aware of the existence of Arabic texts to this effect. The purpose of this note is to present some Arabic texts about the production of alcohol from wine, starting with the eighth century. The first reference to the flammable vapours at the mouths of bottles containing boiling wine and salt occurred in Kitab ikhraj ma fi al-quwwa ila al-fi`l of Jabir ibn ayyan Hayyan ( born c.

    Extractions: Louise Morley Cochrane '40 turns out to have inherited a taste for numbers as well as words. The daughter of writer Christopher Morley and granddaughter of mathematician Frank Morley, she majored in political science at Bryn Mawr and says that only Professor K. Laurence Stapleton coaxed her out of her fear of putting pen to paper. Moving to Great Britain after her marriage, she was an interviewer and broadcaster for the B.B.C., a writer of children's books and career novels for teen girls (including Anne in Electronics, 1960), a Fulbright commissioner, and chicken raising enthusiast. In her golden years, she became interested in the lay Benedictine, Adelard of Bath, who introduced Hindu/Arabic numerals and the concept of zero to the Western world. Her 1994 book, Adelard of Bath:The First English Scientist, was the first on the subject for the general reader in English. While traveling in the Middle East during the Crusades, Adelard obtained a manuscript of Euclid's Elements, which he translated from Arabic into Latin. Later, as a member of the court of Henry I, he collaborated on a translation of the Zij or Astronomical Tables of Al-Khwarismi, a 9th-century Arab astronomer and mathematician who gave his name to the words algorithm and algebra. Adelard's most important work, on the astrolabe, was written for the future Henry II whom he tutored as a boy of 12.

    Extractions: Table of Contents for Caveman Chemistry : 28 Projects, from the Creation of Fire to the Production of Plastics 280. How soap is made from olive oil or tallow Mappae Clavicula ca. AD Nothing in the history of humankind, save for the cultivation of noble fire itself, can compare to the discovery of soap. This is how one of the Author's pyrophilic alter-egos would undoubtedly have begun the present chapter. Lucifer would have described a venerable history stretching back to the third millennium BC , when concoctions of ashes and fat were recorded on Sumerian clay tablets. In order to claim that these concoctions were soap, however, he would have to overlook the fact that these tablets make no mention of any detergent properties these mixtures might have had. He would have to find it unremarkable that pharoic Egypt and the empires of Greece and Rome failed to appropriate such a useful material, but relied instead on urine, various plants, clays, potash, and soda for doing the laundry. He would have to ignore the extensive Roman literature on personal hygiene, which describes the process of oiling the body and scraping the dirty oil off with an instrument called a strigil. No, an ancient origin for soap simply does not wash. The Samsonites would probably prefer the "old Roman legend" which places the invention of soap in the hands of the Goddess Athena. Runoff from animal sacrifices made at her temple on Sapo Hill, so the story goes, resulted in the accumulation of ashes and animal fat in the river below. Women washing clothes in this river found that their clothes came out whiter and brighter than usual and eventually traced the suds back to their source. But why, we might wonder, would the Romans have had an

If your ideas are to have any lasting influence, you will need to find a reliable way to communicate themwithout distortionto others. Therein lies the challenge. Take the case of Socrates (470-399 BCE), the great Athenian philosopher and teacher. Socrates left no written record of his thoughts. Yet, despite the formidable barriers of time, space, language and culture that separate our lives from his, we are able to eavesdrop as he leads his circle of intimates through a thicket of difficult questions about the nature of human affairs: How is the State to be governed? Are laws of justice divine (matters of Truth) or man-made (matters of Opinion)? Is there such a thing as virtue? Can justice be taught? How do we know so much about Socrates' life, his philosophy and investigative method? Mainly from the writings of his student, Plato.

    Extractions: Then there was the decline of the Dark (or early Middle) Ages that started with the sacking of Rome and the destruction of most of the knowledge contained therein. During this time much of the remaining knowledge of the ancient world was preserved by Byzantium, the rest lay scattered in small monasteries spread throughout Mediterranean Europe. In the period from 300AD to 1600AD there existed two major sub-divisions, the early Middle Ages, or Dark Ages, and the late Middle Ages, just before the Renaissance. In the early Middle Ages mathematics made no progress, but in the late Middle Ages there were a few advances and much of what had been forgotten from the ancient world was rediscovered and re-evaluated. In the late Middle Ages education was introduced in earnest by the Catholic Church and knowledge of these rediscovered techniques was spread to the common man. The early Middle Ages of Europe spanned nearly a millennia, from 300AD to 1100AD, and saw little advance made in the field of mathematics. The two major contributions of this time were firstly the translation of many Greek works into the language of the time, and the second was the implementation of formal schooling. Major advances in mathematics were a thing of the past, even the errors in ancient texts were taken as truths in mathematics of the time.

    http://www.netmuslims.com/info/astronomy.html
    
    Extractions: Astronomy, in the real sense, started among the Arabs during the early period of the Abbasid Caliphate. It was much influenced by Sidhanta, a work in Sanskrit brought from India to Baghdad and translated into Arabic by Ibn Ibrahim al-Fazari and later on by Abu Musa Khwarizmi. Pahlavi tables (zij) compiled during the Sasanid period and Greek astronomical works translated during this period prepared the ground for Arabian astronomy. Ptolemy's Al-magest went into several translations in Arabicthe best being the one by Hajjaj Ibn Mater (827-28) and another by Humayun Ibn Ishaq, revised by Thabit bin Qurra (d/901). Khwarizmi has written a valuable treatise on astronomy and has compiled his own Tables (zij) which, after two centuries was revised by Spanish atronomer Majriti (011007) and was translated into Latin by Adelard of Bath. This formed the basis of later astronomical pursuits both in the East and the West and replaced all earlier tables of Greek and Indian astronomers. This table was also adopted in China. Mashallah and Ahmad bin Muhammad alNahavandi were the earliest Arab astronomers who flourished during the reign of Mansur, the second Abbasid Caliph. Mashallah was called the Phoenix of his age by Abul Faraj. He is distinguished for writing several valuable treatises on 'Astrolabe' the armillary sphere and the movements of heavenly bodies which have been acclaimed by later scientists. Ahmad compiled from his observations an astronomical table known as Al-Mustamal which registered an advance over earlier notions of the Greeks and Hindus.

    http://home.comcast.net/~icuweb/c02303.htm
    
    Extractions: International Catholic University The Middle Ages are often neglected and derided, but an objective analysis shows that they were one of the most outstandingly creative periods in human history. It is convenient to define them as the period between 800 and 1450, the later years from 1200 to 1450 being the High Middle Ages. That period saw in Western Europe the foundation of universities, unprecedented technological developments that raised the general standard of living to new heights, the organisation of a financial system and most important of all the birth of modern science. Underlying all this was a new attitude to the material world, a new confidence, dynamism and sense of purpose. This in turn had its roots in the Christian vision of a world created by God. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, Europe fell into chaos. Gradually, over the centuries, a new world came into being, largely inspired by the Christian faith. The process has been finely described by Newman, writing on the mission of the Benedictine order: Through the early Christian centuries there were many who studied the natural world and wrote about it in the context of Christian theology. This gradually formed a new attitude to nature that was destined to lead to the birth of modern science. This attitude is found in Adelard of Bath, and in the work of Robert Grosseteste, the founder of experimental science (section 3.2).

Therefore, we will start this section with a tutorial on the history of the Islamic World to 1600, created by the University of Calgary. You should read the following four web sites before you begin the section on Muslim Contributions to Science and Technology. The first site you should visit is The Islamic World to 1600 . This web site outlines Muslim beliefs and practices, as well as the history of the Islamic world from the 7th to the 17th centuries. An important area for our purposes is the section on The Arts, Learning, and Knowledge . As the tutorial notes, the Islamic dedication to knowledge and learning "resulted in significant advancements in medicine, astronomy, mathematics, and philosophy." These advancements, when they were transferred to Western Europe, formed the basis of the Scientific Revolution. The Islamic World to 1600, http://www.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/islam/
