He starts by detailing much of the advanced civilization in Bagdad and the Caliphate which was centered in Damascus before moving to the dependency and then independent Caliphate in Cordova. His description of the building up of the civilization there and both economic and social conditions was moving and instructive. This book is worth reading not only for those interested in Islamic-led Spain, but also for those interested in how the principles of what we would now call Good Governance, such as tolerance, openness, transparency, and acccountability allowed the emergence of a society based on mutual respect, opportunity for all, and learning to thrive and to spread learning from east to west/north.
