Glass: A World History

Glass: A World History more books like this

by Alan MacFarlane, Gerry Martin, University of Chicago Press (Creator)

Picture, if you can, a world without glass. There would be no microscopes or telescopes, no sciences of microbiology or astronomy.

The Grace and the Severity of the Ideal: John Dewey and the Transcendent more books like this

by University of Chicago Press (Creator), Victor Kestenbaum

In this book, Victor Kestenbaum calls into question the oft-repeated assumption that John Dewey's pragmatism has no place for the transcendent.

Dido's Daughters: Literacy, Gender, and Empire in Early Modern England and France more books like this

by Margaret W Ferguson, University of Chicago Press (Creator)

Our common definition of literacy is the ability to read and write in one language. But as Margaret Ferguson reveals in "Dido's Daughters", this description is inadequate, because it fails to help us understand heated conflicts over literacy during the emergence of print culture. The 15th through 17th centuries, she shows, were a contentious era ...
