520    Scholars have long thought that, following the Muslim 
       Golden Age of the medieval era, the Ottoman Empire grew 
       culturally and technologically isolated, losing interest 
       in innovation and placing the empire on a path toward 
       stagnation and decline. Science among the Ottomans 
       challenges this widely accepted Western image of the 
       nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Ottomans as 
       backward and impoverished. In the first book on this topic
       in English in over sixty years, Miri Shefer-Mossensohn 
       contends that Ottoman society and culture created a 
       fertile environment that fostered diverse scientific 
       activity. She demonstrates that the Ottomans excelled in 
       adapting the inventions of others to their own needs and 
       improving them. For example, in 1877, the Ottoman Empire 
       boasted the seventh-longest electric telegraph system in 
       the world; indeed, the Ottomans were among the era's most 
       advanced nations with regard to modern communication 
       infrastructure. To substantiate her claims about science 
       in the empire, Shefer-Mossensohn studies patterns of 
       learning; state involvement in technological activities; 
       and Turkish- and Arabic-speaking Ottomans who produced, 
       consumed, and altered scientific practices. The results 
       reveal Ottoman participation in science to have been a 
       dynamic force that helped sustain the six-hundred-year 
       empire. -- from back cover.
