Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Centuries before the Greeks & Europeans made their mark on the arts and sciences, early Muslim scholars broke new ground in the fields of architecture, music, philosophy, math and the physical sciences. We explore the legacy of this ‘Lost History’ and trace its imprint on today’s world of global commerce, technology, and modern thought.
Guests
- Michael Hamilton Morgan Author of "Lost History: The Enduring Legacy of Muslim Scientists, Thinkers and Artists".
