Glass in Architecture from the Pre- to the Post-Industrial Era by Sophie Wolf,Laura Hindelang,Francine Giese,Anne Krauter Pdf

Glass is one of the most fascinating and versatile building materials in architectural history. The new insights into glass in architecture are the result of research at the intersection of glass production, construction technology and building culture. Coming from a variety of disciplines, the contributions bridge the divide between natural sciences, humanities and the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage. They explore the crucial role of flat glass in shaping architecture, particularly since the 18th century, and discuss the in-situ restoration of historic windows and glass façades and the importance of preserving this fragile heritage. The topics range from the manufacture of sheet glass in pre-industrial times to the possibilities of repair and reusability of insulating glazing. With contributions by Océane Bailleul, Peter Bellendorf, Stefan Bichlmair, Catherine Blaine, Anne-Laure Carré, Niels De Temmerman, Matthias Fischer, Susanne Fischer, Waldo Galle, Josef Ganka, Esther Geboes, Emma Groult, Melchior Fischli, Ueli Fritz, Florin Gstöhl, Isabel Haupt, Laura Hindelang, Hauke Horn, Peter Heinrich Jahn, Olivia Jorgji, Dunja Kielmann, Ralf Kilian, Katrin Lenz, Giulia Marino, Christine Milch, Angelika Reiff, Alexandra Schmölder, Logan Sisley, Helen Spencer, Ruth Tenschert, Vitaly Volkov and Sophie Wolf A multi-disciplinary survey of the history of the production and use of flat glass From the Roman times to the present day New insights on sheet glass as building material and cultural heritage

Sticks & Stones (Upside-Down Magic #2) by Sarah Mlynowski,Lauren Myracle,Emily Jenkins Pdf

The Upside-Down Magic kids are back in another topsy-turvy adventure in the next installment of this New York Times bestselling series, now a Disney Channel Original Movie! Strange things are happening at Dunwiddle Magic School -- and the Upside-Down Magic class is getting blamed! Yes, Marigold did shrink Lacey Clench to the size of a gerbil. But that was an accident. And, yes, most people weren't prepared for Nory to transform into a squippy (that's half squid, half puppy) -- but it's not like Nory meant to mix up paws and tentacles. And while Bax does have the unfortunate magical condition of turning into a stone, he swears he has nothing to do with the rocky magic that's been happening in Dunwiddle's halls. When things get messy, it's easy to point your finger at the kids with the messiest magic. But the Upside-Down Magic students aren't going to let themselves get in trouble. Instead, they're going to find out what's really going on -- and get their school back on track before something really wacky happens.

The Holy Bible Plus by J. A. H. Pdf

The Bible teaches man the word of God. But Christianity's greatest error has been to interpret the word of God as being the Logos of God. Providing a fresh perspective, The Holy Bible Plus offers a thorough look at the Bible--its origins, its contents, its teachings, its substance, its testaments, and more. The Holy Bible Plus examines a host of topics surrounding the Bible, Christianity, spirituality, and what it means to be a follower of Christ. It seeks to provide an understanding of the WORD, faith, God, the plan, the kingdom, the soul, your duties as a Christian, and sexualities. The essays included in The Holy Bible Plus communicate that Christ revealed how to be creators of new life, not how to be holy. It teaches that obedience to the word is the holiness of Judaism, but discovery of the word is the power of creation.
