Cognizant of the fact that "Golden Age" is a bit of a loaded term, I'm specifically referring to the height of the Islamic empire at its heart (or hearts, considering Baghdad/Damascus/Cordoba), with particular attention to what daily life was like in it. What are some good, accessible books or documentaries that might cover this period?
I'm not a badged member, but I would suggest The Adventures of Ibn Battuta: A Muslim Traveler of the Fourteenth Century
