We'll drift through thousands of years of human ingenuity, discovering how sand transforms into windows, vessels, and works of art that have shaped civilizations. Benjamin Boster gently guides us through the peaceful science of melting, cooling, and crafting this remarkable material that surrounds us in our daily lives. Happy sleeping!
