Reviews
Transfer of Modern Science and Technology to the Muslim World: "This collaborative work will be used by those interested in science, technology, culture and modernisation in the Muslim, especially in the Ottoman World." Roderic H. Davison, Turkish Studies Association Bulletin, XIX, 1 (1995)

"This book offers for the first time, in the languages of the West, a survey of recent developments in the writing of the history of science and technology in Turkey and the Modern Middle East since the pioneering work of Adnan Adivar.
