1.the circulation of weekly magazines exceeded that of newspapers in the period which followed. 2.A world beyond the immediate community was rapidly becoming visible. 3.giving rise to the growth of organizations dedicated to the realization of B's vision of the future.The printed word,unquestionably,was intruding on the insulation that had characterized United States society in an earlier period. 4.It was first made from a mixture of silica,lime ,and an alkali such as soda or potash,and these remained the basic ingredients of glass until the development of lead glass in the seventeenth century.when heated,the mixture bacomes soft and malleable and can be formed by various techniques in to a vast array of shapes and sizes.The homogeneous mass thus formed by melting the cools to create glass,but in contrast to most materials formed in this way(metals.for instance),glass lacks the crystalline structure normally associated with solids,and instead retains the random molecular structure of a liquid.In effect,as molten glass cools,it progressively stiffens until rigid,but does so without setting up a network of interlocking crystals customarily associated with that process.This is why glass shatters so easily when dealt a blow,why glass deteriorates over time,especially when exposed to moisture,and why glassware must be slowly reheated and uniformly cooled after manufacture to release interal stresses induced by uneven cooling.
