Sinossi

Windows Opened explores the fascinating history of glass windows, revealing their profound influence on architecture and interior design. From rudimentary openings to advanced glazing systems, the book traces the evolution of windows and their impact on our built environment. Windows are not merely functional components but cultural artifacts, fundamentally altering how we experience interior and exterior spaces. One intriguing fact is that the development of glassmaking techniques significantly impacted building practices across various periods, including their use in Roman villas and medieval cathedrals.

 
The book examines the integration of windows into architectural designs across different eras and cultures and the consequences of glazed apertures on interior environments and human behavior. By drawing from diverse sources like archaeological findings and historical documents, Windows Opened provides a chronological account of window development. 

 
The book also touches on related fields like environmental science, examining the environmental consequences of window design in terms of energy consumption. This integrated approach, combining technological, architectural, and social perspectives, distinguishes the book, appealing to architects, historians, designers, and anyone curious about the built environment. The book begins by tracing the origins of glassmaking and its initial applications and progresses through distinct historical periods, ending with a discussion of contemporary window technology and sustainable architecture.

 
Readers gain insights into how window design has evolved alongside materials science and societal attitudes toward light, privacy, and ventilation. This exploration highlights the vital role of window design in shaping our built world.

    Originally published in 1885. 
    The Prehistoric World; or, Vanished Races, by E.A. Allen 
    We are told that in Tartary, each native makes the iron he needs, just as every household would make its own bread. The furnace is a very small affair, not holding more than three pounds of ore. This is filled with ore and charcoal. The bellows are used, and after the charcoal is all burned out, the result is a small piece of spongy iron, which needs only repeated heating and hammering to be made serviceable. 
    Primitive furnaces, on a somewhat larger scale, have been discovered in Switzerland. Here, the excavation was made in the side of a hill, and a rude, dome-shaped chimney built over it. We must not forget that our task ends where the historian's begins. The use of iron did not long precede history, so we have but little to describe as to the customs and manners of life during the prehistoric Iron Age.

    The Buddhist Catechism by Henry S. Olcott is a concise instructional guide to the core teachings of Buddhism, presented in a question-and-answer format meant to clarify the religion for both beginners and students. First published in the late 19th century, it outlines fundamental Buddhist ideas such as the life and example of the Buddha, the Four Noble Truths, karma, rebirth, ethical conduct, meditation, and the goal of nirvana, while emphasizing reason, self-discipline, compassion, and the non-theistic nature of Buddhist thought. Olcott’s work was especially influential in modern Buddhist revival movements, as it sought to organize Buddhist doctrine in a clear, accessible, and systematic way for a broad audience.
