The Glass Bathyscaphe: How Glass Changed the World

Description

Authors: Macfarlane, Alan and Martin, Gerry

Publisher: Profile Books (London)

Pub Date: 2002 (Second printing)

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair.  Binding tight.  No marks, tears, folds.  Upper front cover corner has been bumped, 2 bends, inner approx. 1/2″, outer a circular 1½”, extends through first 20 pages of text.  Edge and corner wear.  With the exception of that cover bend, this looks unused.

Notes:   The authors really looked clearly through the subject.  To them, glass is the basis of civilization.  In a way I can see their point.  No glass windows, no windshields, no stained glass windows, no glass beer steins, maybe no computer screens, television.  In its own way it’s light reading.

“I’m looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don’t look different, but you have changed
I’m looking through you, you’re not the same”

Beatles, 1965
