george saliba is professor of arabic and islamic studies in the department of middle east and asian studies at columbia university he is the author of the book quotislamic science and the making of the european renaissance quotabout the book quotislamic science and the making of the european renaissance quot :-the islamic scientific tradition has been described many times in accounts of islamic civilization and general histories of science with most authors tracing its beginnings to the appropriation of ideas from other ancient civilizationsthe greeks in particular in this thought-provoking and original book george saliba argues that contrary to the generally accepted view the foundations of islamic scientific thought were laid well before greek sources were formally translated into arabic in the ninth century drawing on an account by the tenth-century intellectual historian ibn al-nadm that is ignored by most modern scholars saliba suggests that early translations from mainly persian and greek sources outlining elementary scientific ideas for the use of government departments were the impetus for the development of the islamic scientific tradition he argues further that there was an organic relationship between the islamic scientific thought that developed in later centuries and the science that came into being in europe during the renaissance saliba outlines the conventional accounts of islamic science then discusses their shortcomings and proposes an alternate narrative using astronomy as a template for understanding the progress of science in islamic civilization saliba demonstrates the originality of islamic scientific thought he details the innovations including new mathematical tools made by the islamic astronomers from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries and offers evidence that copernicus could have known of and drawn on their work rather than viewing the rise and fall of islamic science from the often-narrated perspectives of politics and religion saliba focuses on the scientific production itself and the complex social economic and intellectual conditions that made it possible here are some endorsements for his bookquotgeorge saliba has for more than thirty years written some of the most original and advanced studies of the sciences in arabic in this remarkable book which he calls a historiographic essay he addresses the question of the origin of islamic science using accounts of early islamic scholars to show the essential roles of government bureaucracies the great enlargement of greek science particularly astronomy in the islamic world and new evidence for the paths of transmission of arabic science to europe shown most clearly in the work of copernicus finally saliba considers the so-called decline of arabic science showing that well into the fifteenth and even sixteenth centuries there was no decline but rather that the sciences of europe left behind the more traditional sciences not only of islamic civilization but of the entire world this is an essential book for understanding the place of science in the world of islam and its fundamental importance to the development of modern science in the western worldquot n m swerdlow department of astronomy and astrophysics the university of chicago quotsaliba039s book is essential reading for those who wish to understand the remarkable phenomenon of the 039rise039 and 039fall039 of the islamic scientific tradition his analysis takes place against the backdrop of the broader question of what produces scientific activity in a society what sustains it and enables it to flourish saliba039s singular achievement derives as much from the stimulating questions he raises as from his provocative answers his iconoclastic views will fuel scholarly debates for decades to comequot gl a russell department of humanities in medicine texas aampm university system health science center editor of the 039arabick039 interest of the natural philosophers in seventeenth-century englandhe is the author or editor of six other books in arabic and english

lisa nichols contributing author of the secret discusses continuing education and distance learning at kaplan university
Bookmarked 736 weeks ago
lisa nichols contributing author of the secret and one of the great inspirational speakers of our time believes the best way to stay motivated when continuing your education is to begin with the end in mind pushing forward through challenges is what makes accomplishment so gratifying every accomplishment leads to personal growth nichols believes that making the completion of your degree non-negotiable means that you will not settle for anything less kaplan universitys online degree programs cater to the busy lifestyle of todays working professional the distance learning programs available at kaplan university could help you further your career potentially lead to advancement opportunities and assist in creating a different lifestyle for you and your family nichols relates her own life experiences as a single mother working full time in this inspirational video that address the challenges kaplan university students may be facing she encourages students to recognize how important pursuing a degree can be to their professional success perhaps one of the most powerful messages nichols relays is to focus on the positive outcome continuing education can bring she urges students to stay motivated by not checking into how difficult it might be but to check in with how sweet it gets to be kaplan university039s programs are designed to prepare graduates to pursue employment in their field of study or in related fields however the university does not guarantee that graduates will be placed in any particular job eligible for job advancement opportunities or employed at all additional training or certification may be required i would say to a kaplan university student youve really made a decision to take your life by the reigns to give yourself a second third fourth fifth chance that this season is your season and that youve served everyone else and this gift is a gift for you when you serve yourself you allow yourself to then begin to serve everyone else from your overflow but one of the things i would mainly say is that when youve been good to you this is a gift when youve been good to you then youll serve with more gratitude to everyone else so hold on to this hold on to this moment carve out time theres never enough time there are a hundred people that are going to pull at you- carve out this space for you say you know what ive nurtured everyone ive served everyone this is my moment this is my time to shine this journey with kaplan university is super important to me and its non-negotiable when you say no matter what graduating should be no matter what no matter what means ive removed every other option off the table graduating and taking advantage of this opportunity is something that nothing else can happen but this this is non-negotiable when you move everything else off the table other than making it the only thing left is making it and so i would say to the kaplan university student youve already jumped in now say no matter whati think one of the ways to stay motivated is to begin with the end in mind see yourself on graduation day see yourself with a certificate saying i completed i did it its done see yourself in the lifestyle that this accomplishment will award you to have when you being with the end in mind and you get so viscerally and emotionally connected to the outcome steven covey the author of the 7 habits of highly effective people says begin with the end in mind see it believe it taste it walk it talk it feel it and then go every day just getting to that feeling in reality have such a barometer to show you where youre going and know what it looks like to be there and then become non-negotiable on it stay motivated by not checking into how difficult it might be check in with how sweet it gets to be i believe that my life today is a result of hunkering down and seeing myself in a place where i wasnt seeing myself in a lifestyle that was barely recognizable but before i could get to this place where i live the life i love today and i love the life i live before i could get here i had to see then i had to get busy creating it there are parts of my journey when i wanted to stop and for me to tell you that it didnt occur would be a lie i wanted to stop i got tired i was a single mother a little baby no money no time no energy but when i pushed passed whatever that discomfort was and i got to the other side of that small accomplishment- whether it be getting a project done getting homework done getting an assignment done having a meeting- when i got to the other side i know that with every fiber in my body every breath in my body that i in some way wasnt the same before i got through it baby step by baby step spoonful by spoonful moment by moment test by test hour by hour i began to transform into the woman that i am today your transformation started when you registered when you said this is for me i want to be great i want to be wonderful i want to be accomplished no apologies for that your transformation has already begun and ill see you on the other side
