The definitive technical manual for scientific glassblowing. For practitioners, historians of science, and anyone who works with specialized laboratory glass.

Most people don't know that laboratory glassware was hand-blown one piece at a time by trained artisans. This book documents the techniques, the tools, the history of the craft, and its place in the development of modern science. Bunsen burners, distillation apparatus, thermometers, beakers: all required a specialist to custom-make.

If you teach chemistry, physics, or the history of science, this is a reference. If you practice glassblowing, it's indispensable. If you're curious about invisible labor in science history, this reveals an entire profession we've mostly forgotten.
