{"product_id":"cosmic-anger-fraser-9780199208463","title":"Cosmic Anger: Abdus Salam - The First Muslim Nobel Scientist","description":"This book presents a biography of Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to win a Nobel Prize for Science (Physics 1979), who was nevertheless excommunicated and branded as a heretic in his own country. His achievements are often overlooked, even besmirched. Realizing that the whole world had to be his stage, he pioneered the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, a vital focus of Third World science which remains as his monument. A staunch Muslim, he was ashamed of the decline of science in the heritage of Islam, and struggled doggedly to restore it to its former glory. Undermined by his excommunication, these valiant efforts were doomed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gordon Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199208468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199208463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Gordon Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44159191122175,"sku":"9780199208463","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a49f1a1-5511-4979-965b-4f9f861bccda.jpg?v=1689081150","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cosmic-anger-fraser-9780199208463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
