Part 3: Man And Nature
This film shows many examples from different parts of the Islamic world of mans cooperation with the forces of nature such as the use of earth as a building material, the large dams built long before anything comparable in Europe, the system of underground canals upon which whole areas depend, the huge water wheels of Syria, counteracting the high temperatures of the Middle East, how ice was supplied right through the summer many centuries ago, and the earliest windmills in the world, still in use.Release
