The Corning Museum of Glass's Innovation Center shows visitors how innovators have exploited the extraordinary properties of glass to change the way we live. These advances, which range from light bulbs to television tubes to optical fibers, are documented in the Innovation Center's exhibits. This short book is not a guide to the Center. Instead, it focuses on the most important stories that are told there: stories that revolve around discoverers of new kinds of glass, inventors of processes or products, the years of experimentation, or the happy accidents that led to their discoveries and inventions, and how these innovations affect our lives.
