Fiberglass and Glass Technology: Energy-Friendly Compositions and Applications provides a detailed overview of fiber, float and container glass technology with special emphasis on energy- and environmentally-friendly compositions, applications and manufacturing practices which have recently become available and continue to emerge. Energy-friendly compositions are variants of incumbent fiberglass and glass compositions that are obtained by the reformulation of incumbent compositions to reduce the viscosity and thereby the energy demand.

This book accounts for the results of fieldwork in Doliche, located in Gaziantep, South East Turkey. Doliche was an important city of ancient North Syria which continued to thrive into the Middle Ages. For the first time, an international research project started to explore the site in 2015. The chapters collected in this volume discuss the main discoveries of the first seasons. It is divided in two parts. The first part considers the main excavation results, with a particular emphasis on a newly discovered early Christian basilica and its decoration. This section also contains the first comprehensive discussion of a newly discovered Roman Imperial hypogeum from the city necropolis. The chapters of the second part deal with the preliminary findings from an intra-urban intensive survey. Between 2017 and 2019, a significant portion of the city area has been investigated, and the results of the survey offer new insights in the spatial and chronological of the city. The chapters consider methodological questions, but also discuss artefact groups. In general, the results presented in this volume add to the knowledge of urbanism in Roman and Late antique North Syria.

A dynamic dramatization of a soul's passage through millennia of turbulent incarnations, beginning with an ancient tribe's struggle for survival and ending with a twenty-first century who fully expresses soul's love. The compelling personalities and their evocatively rich experiences take the reader right into the action. Readers Comments "A pleasure to read... insightful, educational, thought provoking." "New concepts about soul are woven throughout in a common sense way. The overall impression I'm left with is one of inspiration and wondering about 'my' soul." "A wonderfully engaging way to open minds to possibilities." "The book paints a vast picture of the destiny of man and of his final victory. In doing so, it helps eradicate the fear of death and of the unknown afterlife. These understandings are so sorely needed by humanity." "A wonderful story presented in an interesting format."

From the fall of the Berlin Wall to Kosovo, covering the unification of Germany, the break-up of the USSR & Yugoslavia, as well as the "velvet divorce" of Czechoslovakia, these last ten years have seen great upheavals in our continent, on a scale probably unparalleled since the fall of the Roman empire. The Council of Europe has played a special role in all of this, as the structure best qualified to welcome the new European democracies, & its membership has soared from 23 to 41 (including 17 central & east European countries) between 1990 & 1999. Truly "a decade which made history" -- & one which the reader is invited to retrace in these pages.
