He's so vain. He probably thinks that chapter is about him.

Warriors of the Storm.. historical fiction about the 9th and 10th century then the Danes/Vikings were threatening to overrun what is now the UK. I really like historical fiction, and those were "interesting times". This is the latest book in a series, the first book of which was recently made into a BBC series called "The Last Kingdom", which Abbey and I liked.

No, but its written by a guy(a New Yorker) about how his life totally blew apart , how he lost everything etc.. Haven't got to the end yet to see how he turned it around. I suppose he did since he wrote the book..
HAHA, AMERICAN LEFT ARE SUCKERS ALRIGHT BUT THEY ARE ALSO VICIOUS,
AND WOULD GLADLY SEND CONSERVATIVES AND CHRISTIANS TO THE OVENS IF THEY COULD. TYR

Oh my gosh, this is a great book. It is a fantastic true story of how the first antibiotic drugs were found, that is, sulfa drugs, back in the 1930s by German scientists. We still use sulfa drugs today in medicine.

Tyr you questioned my comment about Algebra in another thread it reminded me of a really good book I read some time ago
LOST DISCOVERIES
The Ancient Roots of Modern Science--From the Babylonians to the Maya
Here's an bit from the NewYork times review of the Book.
"...This catalog of achievement, while not exactly news, is breathtaking in the sheer sweep of human ingenuity. The Babylonians developed the Pythagorean theorem at least 1,500 years before Pythagoras was born. Indian mathematicians performed multiplication and algebra, and even ventured toward calculus, a millennium before Europeans. An Arab astronomer, Ibn al-Shatir, spelled out the theory of planetary motion 150 years before Copernicus. The ''Mercator projection'' was used by Chinese cartographers centuries before the birth of Mercator. In the third century B.C., physicists in China pretty neatly summarized Newton's first law of motion..."
Tyr my comment wasn't incorrect.
"the "algebra" we use today we picked up from the muslims and arabic countries."
your own quote say what meant. (though it said it in a very minimizing and condescending way) I just decided not to write a book to explain my aside.
...Mohammedan civilization in its great days was admirable in the arts and in many technical ways, but it showed no capacity for independent speculation in theoretical matters. Its importance, which must not be underrated, is as a transmitter. Between ancient and modern European civilization, the dark ages intervened. The Mohammedans and the Byzantines, while lacking the intellectual energy required for innovation, preserved the apparatus of civilization — education, books, and learned leisure. Both stimulated the West when it emerged from barbarism ....
Just because someone or some group or religion did some admirable feat. doesn't mean EVERYTHING they say or do valid. But it does no good to try and dismiss it all out of hand. Lets give credit where credit is due and condemn what's condemnable.
as you say, stick with the facts
