An excellent book covers all key art and architecture in the Islamic history. It is not only useful for the specialists in the area, but it is also useful for each person that has a special interest in Islam.

If you've ever thought of a systemic approach to studying muslim art in all its glory - you've found the solution. Nice articles, unparalleled selection of high quality illustrations, rich vocabulary and professional layout will open eyes to unknown facts and kindle yet more interest in aspiring hearts. Highly recommended.

I bought this as a gift for my husband who is a designer. The art is presented wonderfully well with a treasure of information on Islamic history and explainations of the different styles.

Great book with detailed explanations and beautiful pictures.

Nice book. Plenty to take on board. The intricacies of Islamic art and architecture never cease to amaze me. How I'd love to see the more remote buildings for real.

I'm very happy with the purchase of this book. It gives an introduction to the history of Islam and how the art and architecture developed. Beautiful pictures and very enjoyble to read.

A book worth having

My niece and her daughter both love this.

Wie schwer es ist ist, die 1000 järige Geschichte der Islamischen Kunst zusammen zu fassen, ohne sich in zu vielen Detailfragen zu verlieren zeigt das Team von Moya Carey. Carey war Studentin an der Londoner School for Oriental and African Studies, der Eliteschule für Islamische Kunstgeschichte. Es gibt im Buch zunächst einige einleitende Abschnitte, bestimmte wichige Detailfragen werden dann auf jeweils zwei Seiten beantwortet und mit Abbildungen illustriert. Es wird Architektur und Malerei bearbeitet, aber auch die Angewandte Kunst in ihren vielen Fassetten, was nicht oft und in so gekonnter Weise vorgestellt wird. Herzlich Glückwunsch an die Autorin. Ich bin froh, dass ich das Buch kaufte.

Good timing in arrival

The illustrations in the book are beautiful. Worth reading.

Great book! Very useful for those, who start being interested in Islamic art and culture. Detailed explanation and many pictures!

Very Good Product
