For classical Islam that figure was unquestionably Ibn Sina. Master of many fields, his contributions to medicine are the topic of this brief biographical essay. In this survey is offered a glimpse of man who called the study of medicine not difficult, and amidst his other interests found time to write a million word classic of medicine, that served as a standard textbook, worldwide, for almost a thousand years. Future essays will focus on individual contributions of Ibn Sina in different fields of medicine.

Dedicated to the empirical pursuit of wellness, their design, organization and goals were much the same as those of hospitals today.

The oasis at the edge of the northern curve of Saudi Arabia's Great Nafud desert is hardly as well-known as other historical sites in the kingdom—the carved-rock tombs at Mada'in Salih, for example. But al-Jawf is where the trade routes met that once linked Mesopotamia, Persia and Syria with Arabia and Yemen, and enough has happened here to make good the claim of Al-Jawf Museum Director Hussein al-Khalifa, who tells visitors that al-Jawf's weather-beaten, mud-brick ruins are "the richest historical site in Saudi Arabia."
The name al-Jawf, which means "the hollow" or "the depression" in Arabic, is relatively modern. Strictly speaking, it applies to the entire southeastern portion of Wadi al-Sirhan, an elongated depression that extends northwest toward the border with Jordan. Today al-Jawf is also the name of the local province, or amirate. In practice, however, al-Jawf has become synonymous with one of Saudi Arabia's oldest inhabited towns and its environs, formerly known as Dawmat al-Jandal.

The Allied soldiers who grappled with the Japanese in WWII, from the streaming jungles of New Guinea to the razor sharp coral of Tarawa, would quickly agree. But those who fought in Burma would quickly disagree - they were in hell.

For some people that might be an abstract intellectual concept that they don't always pay attention to and might even be disdainful of. Let's get all this inconvenient patriotic ceremony out of the way so we can have "fun."
