For those in the Worldwide Glass Community it will be remembered as much because it was the United Nations International Year of Glass, an international celebration around the globe of the richly diverse and sustainable contribution that glass makes to our daily lives. This book reveals the backstory of the application to the UN and records the year-long party that followed in countries from every continent. The book is a photographic and written record for all who participated and is a guidebook for others on similar journeys in the future. It encapsulates warm memories, but the authors hope it will also stimulate future action in a world which desperately needs a framework for sustainable living”.</p> </div> <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-4 col-xs-12"> <img src="images/celebrating-glass.jpg" class="img-responsive" width="250" border="0" /> <figcaption>To download <i>compressed</i> PDF version <a href="docs/celebratingGlass/Celebrating glass-IYOG-UN-book-compressed.pdf" target="_new">click here</a></figcaption> <figcaption>To download PDF version <a href="docs/celebratingGlass/Celebrating glass-IYOG-UN-book.pdf" target="_new">click here</a></figcaption> </br> </div> </div> <div> <p align="justify" syle="margin-top:10px;">   The book is based on submissions by many different IYOG participants. Indeed, so many that inevitably not all are named, nor their contributions properly acknowledged. We sincerely apologize for any omissions and hope that the mention of your favorite activity will be sufficient recompense. Equally far too many activities occurred for all to be included. Again, we apologize —please let us know of any significant gaps so that we can record them for posterity in our database or on the IYOG web site.</p> <p align="justify" syle="margin-top:10px;">   We hope that you will find this report both informative and heart-warming. We hope it will stimulate ongoing activity, and encourage a sense of a glass community, both locally and internationally. We hope that many existing organizations will take up the baton of ‘The Age of Glass’ and run with it.</p> <p align="justify" syle="margin-top:10px;">   We need and wish to deeply thank all of you, and all that made possible this magic year from any position (R&D center and Universities, companies, artists and museums, companies and associations, journals and magazines) in any place in the glass world. Without you this was simply not possible. The IYOG was successful not only for the thousands of activities developed but for the great and strong network we were able to build. Boundaries between academia, industry and art disappeared, all becoming citizens with a common goal, that of working and building together. A network that we need to maintain and reinforce.</p> <p align="justify" syle="margin-top:10px;">   Now it’s time to disseminate as wide as possible the results of this common project, through the High Definition pdf version of the book, where you can access materials, videos and websites through hyperlinks.</p> <p align="justify" syle="margin-top:10px;">   As we said at the beginning of IYOG: ‘You know who you are, we know who you are. We hope the success of this amazing project will be a sufficient reward for your contribution’.</p> <p>See you all walking and working together in the Age of Glass.</p> <p align="left"><b>Alicia Durán and John M.
