Dr. S. Nomanal Haq
Dr. Syed Nomanul Haq is currently on the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania with appointments in two departments-the History of Art, and History and Sociology of Science. Among his courses at Penn is the very popular "Science, Religion, and Magic;" the largest course in the history science program, which is cross-listed with Religious Studies. Haq studied physics as an undergraduate at Hull University, and then, at University College London, the history of philosophy and of science as well as Islamic studies. At the doctoral level, he went as a London University transfer student to Harvard, where he did his graduate work in the history of Arabic science, and Near Eastern languages and civilizations. A member and advisor of several international academic bodies and institutions, Haq has held faculty positions at Tufts, Brown, and Rutgers, and has published widely. His book Names, Natures, and Things-a work in the history of alchemy-has already appeared in two editions, published by Kluwer of the Netherlands. He is General Editor of the book series Studies in Islamic Philosophy, published by the Oxford University Press, and is a co-editor of a work on the science-religion dialogue, God, Life, and the Cosmos. Professor Haq has also published in numerous periodicals and has contributed to several encyclopaedias.
