Libros de Industrias de la cerámica y el vidrio

La cerámica es un Arte infinito. Un cósmos total: por algo fue "el arte" por excelencia de nuestros indígenas, y del hombre multidimensional que los antropólogos llaman "primitivo". Se relaciona con todo: con minerales y rocas; materias y fluidos (agua; aire). Con nuestros sentimientos y emociones; creencias y múltiples dimensiones. Con la sanación holística; el equilibrio psicofísico; la expresión y comunicación cultural. Como lo hemos definido en nuestro libro Qué es la Ceramología, se divide en tres ramas: científica, artística y cultural. La primera se relaciona con el conocimiento y diagnóstico de materias. La segunda con el hacer y el quehacer estético. Y la tercera con la arqueología, la antropología, el folklore, el arte popular... jamás terminaríamos de descubrir todas sus instancias e implicancias; relaciones y correlaciones; capacidades y posibilidades. Por ello afirmamos que es "el" Arte infinito.

En este libro se presenta la historia del vidrio, su composición, sus cualidades, y su existencia en civilizaciones que se remontan a miles de años. La pieza más antigua que se conoce es una chaquira de piedra cubierta de barniz de vidrio coloreado, que data del año 4000 a. C.

Una investigación sobre la industria del barro en Boimorto y la rehabilitación de la tejera de Boimil.

Amsterdam-based visual artist and art historian Nick Renshaw (b. 1967, UK) presents a comprehensive history of the world-renowned innovative European Ceramic Work Centre (EKWC) as it approaches its 5

Maris Boyd Gillette's groundbreaking study tells the story of Jingdezhen, China's porcelain capital, from its origins in 1004 in Song dynasty China to the present day. Gillette explores how Jingdezhen has been affected by state involvement in porcelain production, particularly during the long 20th century. She considers how the Chinese government has consumed, invested in, taxed and managed the local ceramics industry, and the effects of this state intervention on ceramists' lives, their local environment and the nature of the goods they produce. Gillette traces how Jingdezhen experienced the transition from imperial rule to state ownership under communism, the changing fortunes of the ceramics industry in the early 21st century, the decay and decline that accompanied privatisation, and a revival brought about by an entrepreneurial culture focusing on the manufacture of highly-prized 'art porcelain'.

Since the publication of its Third Edition, there have been many notable advances in ceramic engineering. Modern Ceramic Engineering, Fourth Edition serves as an authoritative text and reference for both professionals and students seeking to understand key concepts of ceramics engineering by introducing the interrelationships among the structure, properties, processing, design concepts, and applications of advanced ceramics. Written in the same clear manner that made the previous editions so accessible, this latest edition has been expanded to include new information in almost every chapter, as well as two new chapters that present a variety of relevant case studies. The new edition now includes updated content on nanotechnology, the use of ceramics in integrated circuits, flash drives, and digital cameras, and the role of miniaturization that has made our modern digital devices possible, as well as information on electrochemical ceramics, updated discussions on LEDs, lasers and optical applications, and the role of ceramics in energy and pollution control technologies. It also highlights the increasing importance of modeling and simulation.
