Description

Glass by Patricia Elliott and S. Lyle-Smythe.'The everyday things nearest at hand are those often least noticed. The window through which we see the world outside; the mirror which reflects the room inside; the lamp bulb protecting the filament which creates light; the bottles and containers which preserve our food; the spectacles through which we see - these are everyday things seldom noticed, but without which we could not live our lives so safely or so fully. Here id the story of glass, of its history and the developments that have taken place through the centuries. Here is shown how the chemist and the physicist, the mathematician and the engineer have combined their resources and their skill to make glass the most versatile of materials in this scientific age.'
