Sinossi

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By integrating archaeological findings, historical documents, and scientific analyses, Glass Through Time offers a comprehensive view of glass as both a cultural artifact and a scientific marvel, suitable for history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

    Irish Unity - Time to Prepare

    Growing up during The Troubles, I was determined that I was not going to be forced into Irish unity by terrorist violence or the threat of it. At the time, there was no space to think about a different future. But since then, we have had peace, however imperfect it may be, and we now have the opportunity to freely decide our fate.
    Why will everyone living on the island of Ireland benefit from Irish unity?
    How will the referendum be won?
    Do we need to start preparing now?
    What will happen when Ireland is reunified?
    Disillusioned with the state of pro-union politics in Britain and Northern Ireland, scarred by what he and many others see as a detrimental vote for Brexit and determined to heal the wounds inflicted by partition, Ben Collins sets out a multitude of political, social and economic benefits of removing the border on the island of Ireland, once and for all.
    Written from the viewpoint of an East Belfast-born former UUP campaigner, Irish Unity: Time to Prepare addresses the concerns of unionists in Northern Ireland and sceptics in the Republic and urges everyone on the island of Ireland to escape the crumbling United Kingdom so that we can build a peaceful and prosperous future together, for ourselves and our children.

    100 imagination-stretching writing exercises inspired by the idea of creative constraints, from the author of The Making of a Story. 
     
     
     
    When you are facing down a blank page (or screen), a constraint-based prompt—for example, "you must use the words 'cloud' and 'green'" or "you must set the scene in a crowded grocery store"—can get your brain working in unexpected ways. 
     
     
     
    In this creative writing guide, longtime teacher and novelist Alice LaPlante shares 100 original exercises that will simultaneously push you into a corner and give you the tools to write yourself out of it. LaPlante explains the purpose of each exercise—to sharpen your ear for dialogue, generate surprising images, or access intense emotions—and breaks down student examples to reveal how to achieve these goals. Whether you are looking to jumpstart new ideas or find a fresh angle on a work in progress, and whether you write fiction, creative nonfiction, or poetry, Write Yourself Out of a Corner will strengthen your imagination and your craft.
