After Pythagoras's musings and the transformation of Hippolytus, which frame and wind around the life and death of King Numa, Ovid chooses to put the riddle of language -- of the sign -- before us.

I just enrolled today and browsed through the first lesson. The choice of the first texts are particularly well fitting and the videos accompanying them give the necessary insights to understand their depth or to compare them with more modern experiences. All are either teaching or studying at several US-universities. For each lesson, or hour, several texts are given. They are explained and discussed and the sessions ends with two sections of questions, one more about facts and the second about the texts and their meanings.
There is also a discussion section and an information blog giving the latest news about the progress of the course. You can download it for free in PDF format here.

By contemporary standards, it would have been a spoiled batch here at Great Lakes Brewing Company, a craft beer maker based in Ohio, where machinery churns out bottle after bottle of dark porters and pale ales. But lately, Great Lakes has been trying to imitate a bygone era. Enlisting the help of archaeologists at the University of Chicago, the company has been trying for more than year to replicate a 5,year-old Sumerian beer using only clay vessels and a wooden spoon.
As interest in artisan beer has expanded across the country, so have collaborations between scholars of ancient drink and independent brewers willing to help them resurrect lost recipes for some of the oldest ales ever made. Concrete dome of the Pantheon. They dismantled and burned their fort.
Then they dug a large hole into which they dumped their most precious metal items: All other steel items were taken south: It is an intriguing observation.

Nor is Miodownik short of other examples. The Romans invented the stuff. Best of all, they used it to build the dome of the Pantheon in Rome. Still standing today, it is 2, years old but remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome in the world.
Then there is glass. Both the Egyptians and Greeks manufactured it. However, the Romans perfected glass-making and brought it into everyday life — with profound consequences.

As Stuff Matters tells us: There is more, however. The Chinese, although highly proficient at manufacturing steel, porcelain and paper, never quite got the hang of glass. Yet it led to the invention of the telescope and the microscope, each critical to the scientific and medical revolutions that started in the west but which failed to ignite in China. And you can see why. And without a microscope, you cannot see bacteria and understand their role in the spread of disease. In short, a proficiency with materials has consequences, a point expertly illustrated in this deftly written, immensely enjoyable little book.
A vast library of modern materials underpins our lives today and makes them bearable: Our awareness of the importance of materials is also revealed by the names we have given to the key stages of civilisation: The steel age probably arrived with the Victorians, while we can consider ourselves to be in the silicon age today.
