The Traditional World of Islam: 3: Man and Nature

on BBC Two England

Six films.

This film shows many examples from different parts of the Islamic world of the co-operation of man with the forces of nature: 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; the means by which ice was supplied right through the summer many centuries ago; the earliest windmills in the world.
