Space Science and the Arab World discussed in the journal History of Science

I am very thankful to James Delbourgo, Professor of History at Rutgers University, for discussing my book Space Science and the Arab World (I.B.Tauris) in the journal History of Science 57, no. 3 (2019), 373–99. His article is entitled “The knowing world: A new global history of science.” He writes that the developments described in my book “remind us once more that in a changing geopolitical order, where new wealth and scientific ambition are ascendant in regions like the Persian Gulf as well as East and South Asia, the classic narrative of scientific progress from Europe to America no longer makes sense.” This is “because non-Western sciences aren’t just the past – they’re the present and the future.” You can access the article on the website of SAGE Publishing: https://doi.org/10.1177/0073275319831582
