Product details

The specialized book "How Glass Changed the World" by Seth C. Rasmussen offers a comprehensive analysis of the history and chemistry of glass production. It highlights the origins of glass, dating back to around 2500 BC, and examines its diverse applications up to the height of the Roman Empire. The book addresses the challenges associated with the use of glass in chemical apparatus, particularly regarding durability under extreme temperature fluctuations and chemical influences. The author guides readers through the dramatic development of glass technology in the 13th century and concludes with a reflection on the impact of glass on society and chemical practices. This work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the technical and historical aspects of glass.
