The quotation really summarizes the concept of the book and the reality of how history unfolded: It took centuries for the rest of the world to catch up to the Islamic scientists. For that reason, the title is exquisite. Pathfinders is easy to pronounce, which is an asset in interviews and word-of-mouth conversations. I am looking forward to reading the book.

When I did I came across the other book of the same title. This was quite confusing but, the clear difference was, I didn’t expect Jim’s book to be the cheaper of the two. You pay for quality. What I would suggest is, that Jim gets the artwork changed to a photograph of himself. That’ll help identify and make the book stand out. He could always put the other art work in a thumb nail size or, on another page. I’d buy his book whatever it was called because Jim is awesome. I met him recently at Cheltenham Science Festival and he was kind enough to sign a book for me and, shake hands. It was my birthday highlight. I’ve left a comment on Richard’s Blog:
