List of contributors

Index

"...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."

Dr. Mario Affatigato, Editor in Chief, International Journal of Applied Glass Science. Ceramics Bulletin, June 2021

Pascal Richet 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.
