             Glass is a remarkable substance made from the simplest raw materials.It can be colored or colorless,monochrome or polychrome,transparent,transclucent,or opaque.It is lightweight impermeable to liquids,readily cleaned and reused,durable yet fragile,and often very beautiful Glass can be decorated in multiple ways and its optical properties are exceptional.In all its myriad forms-as table were,containers,in architecture and design-glass represnts a major achievement in the history of technologycal developments.

        Since the Bronze Age about 3,000 B.C.,glass lias been used for making various kinds of objects.It was frst made from a mixture of silica,line and an alkali such as soda or potash,ad these remained the basic ingredients of glass of glass until the development of lead glass in the seventeenth century.When heated,the mixture becomes soft and malleable and cn be formed by various technques into  a vast array of shapes and sizes.The homogeneous mass thus formed by melting then cools to create glass,but in contrast to most materials formed in this way(metals,for instance),glass lacks the crystalline structure normally associated with solids,and instead retains the random molecular structure of a liquid.In effect,as molten glass cools,it progressively stiffens until rigid,but does so without setting up a network of interlocking crystals customarily associated with that process.This is why glass shatters so easily  when dealt a blow.Why glass deteriorates over time,especially when exposed to moisture,and why glassware must be slowly reheated and uniformly cooled after manufacture to release internal stresses Induced by uneven cooling.

        Another unusual feature of glass is the manner in which its viscosity changes as it turns from a cold substance into a hot,ductile liquid.Unlike metals that flow or"freeze"at specific temperatures glass progressively softens as the temperature rises,going through varying stages of malleability until it flows like a thick syrup.Each stage of malleability allows the glass to be manipulated into various forms,by different techniques,and if suddenly cooled the object retains the shape achieved at that point.Glass is thus amenable to a greater number of heat-forming techniques than most other materials.

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
