Summary

"Glass Forms Naturally" explores the fascinating geological phenomenon of fulgurites, the glassy formations created when lightning strikes sandy soils. These natural glasses offer a unique window into the power of lightning and the composition of the earth. Intriguingly, the book reveals how the moisture content and specific characteristics of lightning strikes play a crucial role in fulgurite formation. Understanding these factors helps scientists predict where fulgurites might be found and interpret their unique structures.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with basic concepts in geology and physics, and gradually building to more complex topics like fulgurite morphology and chemical properties. It examines the history of fulgurite research, combining geological, physical, and chemical perspectives. This approach highlights the practical applications of fulgurite research, such as their use as paleoenvironmental indicators, providing valuable insights into climate change, geological history, and the impact of extreme weather events.

Persian Pictures

Gertrude Bell

In 1892, Gertrude Bell visited Persia (now Iran) shortly after the appointment of her uncle, Sir Frank Lascelles, as British minister in Tehran. Three years later came Persian Pictures, Gertrude Bell’s first written work, which presents a series of vivid sketches of Persian culture and society at the time. Bell explores various cities and landscapes, and encounters local characters along the way, providing a unique perspective on Persian life and customs. While much of what is depicted in Persian Pictures has long since changed, Bell’s writing is a valuable account of the anachronisms and inconsistencies of the dying dynasty of medieval Persia. Her depiction of Muharram – the month of mourning for Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed – and Ramadan, display a mind finely attuned to the differences and similarities between Islam and Christianity, and East and West. Persian Pictures is both travelogue and meditation – an elegiac and beautifully observed account of a spellbinding land.
