The book examines why and how this unique material was invented some 4,500 years ago and considers the ritual, social, economic and political contexts of its development. It also provides an in-depth consideration of glass as a material, the raw materials used to make it, and its wide range of chemical compositions in both the East and the West from its invention to the seventeenth century AD. Julian Henderson focuses on three contrasting archaeological and scientific case studies: Late Bronze Age glass, late Hellenistic-early Roman glass, and Islamic glass in the Middle East. He considers in detail the provenances of ancient glass using scientific techniques and discusses a range of vessels and their uses in ancient societies.Glass manufactureHistoryGlassware, AncientGlassware, ClassicalGlass manufactureHistory.748.2009/01SOC003000bisacshHenderson Julian1953-68178UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786031403321Ancient glass3750841UNINA02722nam 2200505 450 991079299990332120230126215149.090-04-34733-X10.1163/9789004347335(CKB)3710000001362935(MiAaPQ)EBC4865466(OCoLC)985447644(nllekb)BRILL9789004347335(EXLCZ)99371000000136293520170502d2017 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierIdentifying a free society conditions and indicators /by Milan ZafirovskiBoston :Brill,[2017]1 online resource (474 pages) illustrations, tablesStudies in critical social sciences ;10790-04-34296-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Modern Free Society -- The Political Condition and Indicator of Modern Free Society—Democracy -- Sources and Grounds for Democracy Estimates -- The Economic Condition and Indicator of Modern Free Society—A Free Economy -- Sources and Grounds for Free Economy Estimates -- The Cultural Condition and Indicator of Modern Free Society—A Free Culture -- Sources and Grounds for Free Culture Estimates -- The Civic Condition and Indicator of Modern Free Society—A Free Civil Society -- Sources and Grounds for Free Civil Society Estimates -- Summary and Conclusion.In Identifying a Free Society Milan Zafirovski offers a holistic sociological approach to modern free society as a total social system. The book examines the main conditions and indicators of modern free society such as democracy, a free economy, a free culture, and a free civil society, hence political, economic, cultural, and individual liberty entwined with equality and justice. It provides specific and aggregate free-society estimates for Western and related societies based on a variety of objective rankings, data, and reports. On the basis of these estimates, the book identifies liberal societies as the freest as a whole, and their anti-liberal opposites as the most unfree.Studies in Critical Social Sciences107.Social history21st centuryLiberalismCultureDemocracySocial historyLiberalism.Culture.Democracy.306Zafirovski Milan1958-504813NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910792999903321Identifying a free society3866457UNINA
