Synopsis

Glass Through Time explores the fascinating history of glass, from its accidental origins to its vital role in modern technology. The book charts glassmaking's evolution, highlighting how this material has profoundly shaped architecture, science, and art.

 
One intriguing aspect is that early glassmaking techniques, originating in Mesopotamia and Egypt, involved meticulous processes still studied today. Another is the Venetian glass industry's groundbreaking innovations, which set new standards for artistry and craftsmanship.

 
The book adopts a chronological approach, starting with ancient glass artifacts and progressing through the Roman era, the Middle Ages, and the scientific revolution. Each chapter builds upon the last, examining the social, economic, and scientific contexts that influenced glass development.

 
By integrating archaeological findings, historical documents, and scientific analyses, Glass Through Time offers a comprehensive view of glass as both a cultural artifact and a scientific marvel, suitable for history enthusiasts, science buffs, and art aficionados alike.

    Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight. 
    In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am. 
    Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German. 
    Inside, you’ll learn: 
    What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis) 
    Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project 
    How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this) 
    What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig 
    And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist 
    If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you. 
    Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.

    In School Rethink 2.0, editors Frederick M. Hess, Michael B. Horn, and Juliet Squire gather leaders immersed in the nuts-and-bolts work of educational reinvention to present ten promising education improvements and ways to implement them. Contributors explain what it takes to reinvent schooling and the hurdles that emerge when tackling everything from curricula to staffing to assessment. These entrepreneurs and practitioners detail both the challenges and successes they've experienced in putting their ideas into practice, and they offer wise advice to administrators, policymakers, and educators who hope to adopt these approaches.Many of the approaches described in the book were driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the nation to rethink core tenets of schooling. Contributors find solutions in robust career and technical education and new staffing models. They champion best-fit environments achieved via school choice programs and variations in school size, from colossal, highly resourced school systems to microschools. And they highlight a range of alternative instructional models such as mastery-based learning, personalized instruction, and multimodal learning labs for math instruction. This collection offers a host of actionable solutions to help accommodate different learning needs.

    Noli Me Tangere is a landmark novel in Philippine literature and a foundational work of political fiction. Written by national hero José Rizal, it exposes the corruption, abuse, and oppression endured by Filipinos under Spanish colonial rule and the Catholic clergy. The story follows Crisóstomo Ibarra, a young Filipino who returns from Europe intent on reforming society through education and progress, only to face betrayal, injustice, and the ruthless power of the friars. Blending romance, realism, and revolutionary critique, Rizal’s novel ignited nationalist sentiment and laid the intellectual groundwork for the Philippine Revolution. A powerful indictment of colonial tyranny, Noli Me Tangere remains a testament to the struggle for freedom, justice, and national identity.
