This book is designed to be useful to any person interested in learning about how glass breaks. The manuscript has been written to fill the gap that exists for a reference and study guide which details the practical usage and knowledge required to apply the art and science of Fractography to the shattering of glass articles. Although a large number of scientific articles, compendiums and a few practical studies have been published in the open scientific literature, they do not address the knowledge and approaches mandatory to determine how and why any manufactured glass article shattered under a force it was meant to withstand.
