The well known US newspaper The Washington Post published on 25 August 2010 an elogious paper "1001 Inventions: Science in Muslim lands" by Associated Press writer Christopher Torchia about the opening of "1001 Inventions" exhibition in Istanbul earlier this month. The article (read it online here) recalls the aim of the exhibition and how it is intended to highlight the overshadowed period of history, a "Golden Age" in which advances in science, medicine, technology and architecture laid groundwork for Western progress from the Renaissance until modern times.

Sustainability in its Historical Context |
|
By: Dr Anne-Maria Brennan, Mon 02 August, 2010 |
|
Dr Anne-Maria Brennan [Proceedings of the conference 1001 Inventions: Muslim Heritage in Our World organised by FSTC, London, 25-26 May 2010]. Departing from a definition of sustainability as a concept that involves the management of resources with intergenerational equity in mind, with a deep cultural dimension, Dr Brennan investigates briefly examples from the past that may help us today to solve present problems in resources management. Those examples include water use in antiquity, the environmental concept of Hima in Muslim civilisation and ancient Chinese eco-engineering. They cast light on the ways in which we can learn from the history both in terms of our mistakes and past attempts at solving problems of sustainable development.
