The book reveals how advancements in glass technology, from ancient Egypt to the Industrial Revolution, have fundamentally transformed our built environment. Intriguingly, the increasing transparency and availability of glass have not only reshaped architectural styles but also fostered scientific innovation, demonstrating glass's pivotal role in shaping human experience.

 
The book adopts a chronological approach, starting with the earliest methods of glass production and their applications in ancient civilizations. It highlights how innovations like stained glass in medieval cathedrals and plate glass during the Renaissance marked significant milestones. A key focus is the Industrial Revolution, which enabled mass production and integration of glass into modern architecture, leading to contemporary applications and sustainable designs.

 
This book uniquely bridges materials science, architectural history, and social history to showcase how glass has democratized access to light, fostered new architectural expressions, and facilitated scientific discoveries. By examining the evolution of glass manufacturing technologies, the book highlights glass's transformative impact on architecture and its instrumental role in scientific advancements, making it a valuable resource for students, design professionals, and anyone interested in the history of technology.

    How we organize children by ability in schools is often rooted in ableism. 
     
     
     
    Ability is so central to schooling—where we explicitly and continuously shape, assess, measure, and report on students' abilities—that ability-based decisions often appear logical and natural. However, how schools respond to ability results in very real, lifelong social and economic consequences. Special education and academic streaming (or tracking) are two of the most prominent ability-based strategies public schools use to organize student learning. Both have had a long and complicated relationship with gender, race, and class. 
     
     
     
    In this down-to-earth guide, Dr. Gillian Parekh unpacks the realities of how ability and disability play out within schooling, including insights from students, teachers, and administrators about the barriers faced by students on the basis of ability. From the challenges with ability testing to gifted programs to the disability rights movement, Parekh shows how ableism is inextricably linked to other forms of bias. Her book is a powerful tool for educators committed to justice-seeking practices in schools.

    22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.
