It is widely known that the Greeks and the Arabs have interacted for eons. The basic structure of world knowledge has always moved from African, Egyptian boundaries to the Mediterranean and further East to Mesopotamia and beyond. O'Leary book traces the path of this flow of Hellenistic ideals through the Baghdad Khalifate, the translation of Greek scientific material into Arabic, and the effect it had on the history of medicine, science, and historical geography, as well as the history of the Arab world.
