About this book

A Vanished World tells the story of al-Andalus and the Christian kingdoms of medieval Spain, where people of three faiths shared towns, markets and canals, and where learning flourished.

Lowney describes the achievements of the period — in science, philosophy, agriculture and the arts — as well as the conflicts that ended it in 1492, and asks what lessons it holds today.
