Sinopsis

Glass Making History explores the fascinating evolution of glassmaking, tracing its origins from accidental discoveries to modern industrial production. The book highlights glass's pivotal role in shaping civilization by examining its historical, technological, and cultural dimensions. Discover how Phoenician merchants might have stumbled upon early glassmaking techniques and how the Romans popularized glassblowing, integrating glass into architecture and daily life.

 
The book argues that glassmaking's progress mirrors broader technological and societal advancements. As techniques improved, they spurred developments in fields like optics and chemistry. Beginning with ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, the narrative progresses chronologically through the Roman era, Venetian traditions, the Industrial Revolution, and modern automated production. Each section delves into the techniques and the socio-economic contexts that drove them, offering a comprehensive view of glassmaking's journey through time.

    Fugitive Religion - The Ghost...

    A bird's-eye look at the Ghost Dance, the first instance of modern, collective racial self-consciousness for Native peoples in the United States 
     
    From the Sand Creek Massacre (1864) to the Massacre at Wounded Knee (1890), Indigenous religious practices―legally banned after 1883―took on new meanings as acts of defiance against colonialism and white supremacy. By reexamining the familiar story of the Ghost Dance and Wounded Knee Massacre and placing it into the context of resistance by Black and Native peoples during Reconstruction and Redemption, historian Tiffany M. Hale explains the Ghost Dance not just as a religious movement but also as a complex social phenomenon that enabled Indigenous people to maintain their identities and communities despite the pervasive force of colonialism and the challenges of modernity. 
     
    Chronicling how individual Native people, their families, and communities navigated the fraught post–Civil War conditions of the United States, Hale suggests that Ghost Dances hold something in common with blues traditions of working-class African Americans. By giving Ghost Dance participants a chance to reflect on their lived experiences of warfare, deracination, and diplomacy, "fugitive religion" helped create modern racial self-consciousness in the United States.

    For much of 1917, things went the Germans’ way. With the Bolshevik Revolution underway, the Germans were able to move soldiers to the Western front as the Russians quit the war. Moreover, the Allied powers had failed badly in its Nivelle Offensive in May 1917 and suffered a defeat in November against at the Battle of Caporetto in Slovenia. Unbelievably, the French and British had not bothered to coordinate their commands until after those defeats: they finally formed a Supreme Council to coordinate their armies’ movements and strategies. However, the Allied Powers began a counteroffensive known as the Hundred Days Offensive in August 1918 that was highly successful in pushing the Germans backward. In September, Bulgaria reached a separate armistice with the Allied powers, ceding control of the Balkans and cutting off German supplies. The defeated Ottoman Empire surrendered in late October. As the fortunes of the Central Powers waned, several lands in Austria-Hungary’s empire began declaring independence. Finally, in November, Germany’s Kaiser Wilhelm II was forced into exile, and the Germans reached an armistice with the Allied powers at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918. World War I had finally ended. 
    	After the successful amphibious invasion on D-Day in June 1944, the Allies began racing east toward Germany and liberating France along the way. The Allies had landed along a 50 mile stretch of French coast, and despite suffering 8,000 casualties on D-Day, over 100,000 still began the march across the western portion of the continent. By the end of August 1944, the German Army in France was shattered, with 200,000 killed or wounded and a further 200,000 captured. However, Adolf Hitler reacted to the news of invasion with glee, figuring it would give the Germans a chance to destroy the Allied armies that had water to their backs.
