What is Themes in History: The Rise of Islam (Themes in History) about?

When the Prophet Muhammad first preached the Islamic faith in the 7th century AD, he founded one of the world's most influential religions. The book charts the rise of Islam, from the small band of followers who accompanied Muhammed to Medina in AD 622, to the caliphs, sultans and merchants who, through trade and conquest, carried the teachings of the Prophet half way across the globe - to Persia, North Africa, Spain, the Balkans and South Asia. The author also looks at the contact between Muslims and Christians - both Byzantines and Crusaders - and examines some of the many cultural and scientific achivements of the great Islamic civilizations.The author, Peter Chrisp, worked as a researcher for the Mass Observation Archive. He is an experienced writer of history books and educational materials for school.The consultant, Dr Charles Melville, is a lecturer in Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.
