Early Islam - Great Ages Of Man, A History Of The World's Cultures by Stewart, Desmond and the Editors of Time-life Books. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780672786303.

Islam is a way of life that has religious aspects, political aspects and cultural aspects, and each of the three overlaps and interacts. Desmond Stewart, the author of this book, has done a thoroughly commendable job of putting together this vast and sprawling story. His narrative is vivid, his illustrations add authenticity, and his documentary evidence should whet the appetite of readers to further study.
