Sinossi

"Desert Glass" explores the captivating science behind natural glass formations in deserts. It examines the extreme heat events, such as massive meteorite impacts or intense volcanic activity, that can transform sand into glass, a process known as vitrification. These glass deposits provide valuable clues about past environmental cataclysms. For example, the book details how the chemical composition of desert glass can reveal information about the temperature and conditions under which it formed, offering insights into ancient climates and geological events.

 
The book progresses systematically, starting with the fundamental properties of glass and its formation under intense heat. It then surveys known desert glass locations worldwide, detailing the geological context of each site. By integrating scientific analysis with geographical exploration and historical context, "Desert Glass" presents a comprehensive understanding of these geological wonders.

 
This approach makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in Earth sciences, geography, and environmental science.

    In April 1938, Swift River Valley residents held a farewell ball to mark the demise of the quintessential New England town of Enfield and its three smaller neighbors, Greenwich, Dana, and Prescott. 
     
     
     
    The Commonwealth of Massachusetts sacrificed these three towns to build the Quabbin, a massive reservoir of drinking water for residents of Boston. Three prominent residents attended the somber occasion. Marion Andrews Smith was the last surviving member of an important manufacturing family. Willard "Doc" Segur was the valley's beloved country doctor and town leader. And Edwin Henry Howe was Enfield's postmaster and general store proprietor. They helped build their beloved community for decades, only to watch grief-stricken as it was destroyed by 400 billion gallons of water. 
     
     
     
    Author and historian Elena Palladino recounts the story of these communities as seen through eyes of those who lived there until the end.
