>...Windows might, at first, seem to be an unlikely topic of historical study; a closer look, however, reveals that their material history and symbolism is closely tied to the history of shifting representations of political power and concepts of sovereignty. Defenestration and other window-related forms of punishment that emerged in this period represent a dark chapter in this history.8 They raise broader questions about the interrelation of the history of architecture and material culture, on the one hand, and political symbolism and culture, on the other, in early modern Europe.

They had three?? Did other cities have numbered defenestrations?

AMAZING... and I never thought about cosmic rays and the space telescopes. Now that I think about it, how do we get any of these great pictures, given that the telescopes and their sensors are constantly being blasted with these high energy particles

Is this some old family farm building she's in front of? She looks like a self assured young lady! What's her story?
