<p>“…a rich compendium of information spanning a vast number of aspects of the use of glass as a material…Many readers will find the content—especially many of the diagrams—quite useful in their work or even as new, additional subject matter for lectures and presentations…The work is indeed encyclopedic in its topical coverage, making the volumes extremely important if not indispensable…the reader should explore the information in this wonderful set of books as needed, looking up unknown material as it arises in relevant chapters.”</p> <p><b>Dr. Mario Affatigato</b>, Editor in Chief, International Journal of Applied Glass Science. <i>Ceramics Bulletin, June 2021</i></p>

<p><b>Pascal Richet</b> is a senior physicist at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris and has strong ties with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich. He is mainly interested in the physical and chemical properties of Earth's and industrial materials at high temperatures and pressures. He has also published The Physical Basis of Thermodynamics (Plenum, 2001), Silicate Glasses and Melts (Elsevier, 2nd ed. 2018, with B.O. Mysen), as well as books dealing with either popularization or history and philosophy of science, which include A Natural History of Time (The University of Chicago Press, 2007). Among other honors, he has received in 2006 the Morey award of the American Ceramic Society.</p>

<p><b>A comprehensive and up-to-date encyclopedia to the fabrication, nature, properties, uses, and history of glass</b></p> <p>The <i>Encyclopedia of Glass Science, Technology, History, and Culture</i> has been designed to satisfy the needs and curiosity of a broad audience interested in the most varied aspects of material that is as old as the universe. As described in over 100 chapters and illustrated with 1100 figures, the practical importance of glass has increased over the ages since it was first man-made four millennia ago. The old-age glass vessels and window and stained glass now coexist with new high-tech products that include for example optical fibers, thin films, metallic, bioactive and hybrid organic-inorganic glasses, amorphous ices or all-solid-state batteries. <p>In the form of scholarly introductions, the Encyclopedia chapters have been written by 151 noted experts working in 23 countries. They present at a consistent level and in a self-consistent manner these industrial, technological, scientific, historical and cultural aspects. Addressing the most recent fundamental advances in glass science and technology, as well as rapidly developing topics such as extra-terrestrial or biogenic glasses, this important guide: <ul><li>Begins with industrial glassmaking</li> <li>Turns to glass structure and to physical, transport and chemical properties</li> <li>Deals with interactions with light, inorganic glass families and organically related glasses</li> <li>Considers a variety of environmental and energy issues</li> <li>And concludes with a long section on the history of glass as a material from Prehistory to modern glass science</li></ul> <p>The <i>Encyclopedia of Glass Science, Technology, History, and Culture</i> has been written not only for glass scientists and engineers in academia and industry, but also for material scientists as well as for art and industry historians. It represents a must-have, comprehensive guide to the myriad aspects this truly outstanding state of matter.
