Download or read book Michael Owens and the Glass Industry written by Quentin Skrabec and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-31 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of the “Owens” in “Owens Corning”—a brilliant but humble inventor with nine companies and forty-nine patents bearing his name. He stands next to Thomas Edison in the pantheon of inventors. Commercial products stamped with his name are ubiquitous in modern life. His inventions are directly responsible for safety glass in car windshields and consistently proportioned medicine jars—and helped to significantly reduce child labor in America. His designs have changed the way we illuminate a dark room and buy pasteurized milk. Michael J. Owens has left an indelible mark in human history, yet his name often has been overlooked publicly, until now. Michael Owens was a driven but unassuming man who shunned the spotlight, wanting only to create. In this first biography of a visionary, artist, and craftsman, Quentin R. Skrabec’s research has uncovered a resourceful, colorful, and dynamic industrialist and inventor. This insightful account sets the stage for Owens by going back to the beginning—the history of glass as an art form. Today, his flourishing legacy includes Owens Corning, employing nearly twenty thousand people in over thirty countries.

Book excerpt: This book is a very special look at the life and work of a unique New England photographer whose technical interests and artistic eye captured plain facts and fine beauty in his photographic compositions. Some of his photography reveals an interest in current events that caused him to be the occassional photojournalist. His early work as an instructor of photography and art previews his fine skill in composing his plates. This is the first book of Coolidge's photography ever produced. The collection of 200 photographs in this book portrays Woods Hole, Massachusetts, the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, as well as the surrounding coastal area of the Elizabeth Islands and villages along Buzzards Bay. It also includes historic scenes of Boston, the North Shore, mills along the Merrimack River, a coastal village in Maine, a rural town in New Hampshire and many maritime scenes. Each plate has been printed by the duotone process to give a near approximation of the sepia tones used by Coolidge in his original prints.--Book jacket.
