S. E. Al-Djazairi

Dr Salah Eddine Al-Djazairi is an experienced historian, researcher and writer with over 30 years of academic experience. He has lectured, tutored and researched at the University of Constantine in Algeria, the University of Manchester’ Geography Department and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). He has also given many public lectures as invited speaker at various institutions in the UK and online.

He has published academic articles in leading journals, contributed to well-known encyclopedias, and written books on topics such as environmental degradation and desertification in the Muslim World, the history of science and technology, Muslim civilization, and the Crusades.

He is known and liked by his readers for his unique style of being rigorously academic in his research and providing plenty of footnotes yet being accessible and clear to a wider audience, debunking myth and pointing out distortions, and not mincing his words. The strength of his work lies also in using Muslim as well as non-Muslim sources in different languages, old and new.

When he isn’t writing, he likes to sit in silence and think. He can also be found cooking, going on long walks and spending time in nature.
