"Making Glass Better: Functional Glasses; Properties & Applications for Energy and Information" (ISBN 978-84-8198-922-9), edited by Klaus Bange, Alicia Duran and John M Parker, concerns a material - glass - at the heart of optical fibre information networks and central to so much of sustainable energy provision, in large photovoltaic cells, solar concentrators, windmill blade reinforcing fibres and energy storage. According to the authors, the glasses available need improvement, while others still have to be found. Their properties must be more completely understood. This book offers a signpost for the next generation embarking on this voyage of exploration and discovery. For more information, or to order a copy, please visit: www.icgglass.org
