The Murano glassmakers of Venice are celebrated and revered. But now three are dead, killed for attempting to leave the city that both prized their work and kept them prisoner. For in this, the 17th century, the secret of their craft must, by law, never leave Venetian shores. Yet there is someone who keeps the secret while defying tradition. She is Sophia Fiolario, and she, too, is a glassmaker. Her crime is being a woman-Sophia is well aware that her family would be crushed by scandal if the truth of her knowledge and skill with glass were revealed.

This book describes inventions and designs of ancient engineers that are the precursors of the present. The ages mainly range from 300 B.C. to 1600 A.D. with some exceptions from before and after this period.

Some inventions are in the military field. This is because (unfortunately) many inventions and technological innovations have been conceived starting from military applications. The
