Aristotle's Physics and Its Reception in the Arabic World presents a survey of what Arabic philosophers, as commentators of Aristotle's Physics , have contributed to philosophy and science in the Middle Ages. It investigates to what extent they influenced one another and to what extent they were influenced by previous Greek commentators. Besides Ibn Bājja's commentary on the Physics , which had up to now only partially been edited, the commentaries of Ibn as-Samḥ, Abū Bišr Mattā, Abū l-Faraj ibn aṭ-ṭayyib and Ibn Rušd are surveyed and discussed. The book also contains an account of an Arabic paraphrase of Philoponus' commentary on the Physics , which is of special interest because this commentary was partly lost. A special feature of the book is the edition of the unpublished parts of Ibn Bājja's commentary.

Ce livre est consacré à l'histoire des concepts de la langue scientifique arabe, forgés au cours du travail de traduction (à partir du grec notamment) ou inventés pour les besoins d'une recherche originale, dès la fin du VIIIe siècle. Il s'agit du premier lexique raisonné de la terminologie scientifique classique de l'arabe, en quelque langue que ce soit. Impensable il y a encore un demi-siècle, cet ouvrage de plus de mille pages a été rendu possible par une meilleure connaissance des textes scientifiques anciens, dont la traduction, le commentaire et l'analyse ont été permis à leur tour par la découverte récente de nouveaux manuscrits et la publication de nombreuses éditions critiques. Il offre à ce titre à l'historien des sciences et de la philosophie en terre d'Islam, sans parler de l'historien de la langue arabe, un instrument indispensable à sa recherche ; mais c'est aussi une œuvre dont ne pourront se passer les historiens des sciences grecques, médiévales et classiques, qui y trouveront un éclairage nouveau, et une véritable réflexion, sur des termes et des concepts essentiels à leur champ d'étude.

Armies of Sand asks, 'why have Arab militaries fought so poorly in the modern era?' It examines the performance of over two-dozen Arab militaries from 1948 to 2017, and compares them to a half-dozen non-Arab militaries, to conclude that politics, economics, and culture all contributed to the past weakness of Arab armies.

Arabic Thought in the Liberal Age is the most comprehensive study of the modernizing trend of political and social thought in the Arab Middle East. Albert Hourani studies the way in which ideas about politics and society changed during the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries, in response to the expanding influence of Europe. His main attention is given to the movement of ideas in Egypt and Lebanon. He shows how two streams of thought, the one aiming to restate the social principles of Islam, and the other to justify the separation of religion from politics, flowed into each other to create the Egyptian and Arab nationalisms of the present century. The last chapter of the book surveys the main tendencies of thought in the post-war years. Since its publication in 1962, this book has been regarded as a modern classic of interpretation. It was reissued by the Cambridge University Press in 1983 and has subsequently sold over 8000 copies.
