The Genius of Islam: How Muslims Made the Modern World
Book signing with author/illustrator Bryn Barnard
Saturday, May 28
2-4 pm
Griffin Bay Books, Friday Harbor

The Muslim world has often been a bridge between East and West, but
many of Islam’s crucial innovations are hidden within the folds of history.
In this important book, Bryn Barnard uses short, engaging text and gorgeous

The Genius of Islam is the definitive guide to a fascinating topic.
