Louis XIV, at the height of his powers and grandiose ambitions, dreams of constructing a great Hall of Mirrors in the palace of Versailles. But the only craftsmen who know the secret are in Murano, prisoners of the Venetian Republic. The promise (via Louis XIV's controller of finances, Jean-Louis Colbert) of riches, adventure, a new life, prompts Andrea Allegri and a renegade group of mirror-makers, to risk not only his father's wrath but the severest punishment by the Venetian authorities. And, once in the Sun King's Court, Andrea finds himself caught up, not only with dangerous palace politics, but with one of the King's mistresses. Inventive, romantic and exciting, Clare Colvin's novel is a magical evocation of a glittering period of history.

One of humankind's most significant technical achievements was the moon landing from the sixties. But what has NASA been up to lately, you might ask. Well, for the past twenty years, NASA has been quietly building the James Webb Space Telescope. The technical challenges are unrivaled, even by the incredible moon landing, some fifty years ago. When the "Origami Telescope" unfolds in October 2021, taking on the dimensions of a tennis court, it will be 100 times more powerful than the legendary Hubble Space Telescope. Moreover, it's a "time machine," so sophisticated that we can look at the delicate signatures of the past, some 14 billion years ago! This fantastic tool is a product of the skillful hands and ingenious minds of over 2000 talented engineers, scientists, and technicians. Humankind will soon see the universe as never before. This book recounts the actual work out in the shop. Maynard, as the leader in the optical shop, describes the processing details surrounding JWST Optical Fabrication. What is optical fabrication? You might ask. Optical fabrication is the grinding and polishing steps used to create the telescope's mirrors. All large observatory telescopes use reflective mirror surfaces to manipulate the faint light from the Cosmos. JWST is no different. The specifics, however, are unique for this observatory. Often the details of creating some of the world's most intriguing inventions are lost to the ages. Consider the Egyptian pyramids or even the more recent Hubble Space Telescope. We may know about the science that Hubble has supported, but if you look for the construction details, good luck! We have the specifics for the JWST mirror making chronicled here. It is improbable that you are an optical fabricator, or even less likely, a large mirror maker. This book is for the curious, the engineers, the scientists, and the nerds. It is a behind-the-scenes look into the very specialized creation of off-axis aspheric surfaces in lightweighted Beryllium substrates. Sorry, did your eyes cross? Okay, if you're still reading this, enjoy! Maynard

In Venice, magic is not unusual. Merle is apprenticed to a magic mirror maker, and Serafin—a boy who was once a master thief—works for a weaver of magic cloth. Merle and Serafin are used to the mermaids who live in the canals of the city and to the guards who patrol the streets on living stone lions. Merle herself possesses something magical: a mirror whose surface is water. She can reach her whole arm into it and never get wet. But Venice is under siege by the Egyptian Empire; its terrifying mummy warriors are waiting to strike. All that protects the Venetians is the Flowing Queen. Nobody knows who or what she is—only that her power flows through the canals and keeps the Egyptians at bay. When Merle and Serafin overhear a plot to capture the Flowing Queen, they are catapulted into desperate danger. They must do everything they can to rescue the Queen and save the city—even if it means getting help from the Ancient Traitor himself.
