Al Khazini - Founder Of Gravity Theory (Muslim Scientists Series)

Al-Khazini worked on weights, balances and what happens to objects under load — questions that sit at the root of mechanical engineering as it is practised today.

His treatise on the balance was unusually precise for its time, measuring differences that instruments centuries later struggled to match, and his work on how weight behaves earned him the title this book gives him: the founder of the theory of gravity.

Part of the Muslim Scientists Series, which introduces children to figures from the Golden Age of Islam through short, illustrated biographies.
