De Alaska reeks van Durobor lijkt op de Mesi reeks van het Finse Iittala maar is toch nét iets anders. 

Over de fabrikant:
Durobor Glassware, gevestigd in Soignies Henegouwen, had tot 300 mensen in dienst. Bij het failliet in 2019 was het de allerlaatste Belgische fabrikant van drinkglazen.

In 1928 ontstond de Compagnie Internationale de Gobeleterie Inébréchable uit kapitaal van Solvay en de Amerikaanse Libbey Glass Manufacturing Company. Mechanisch glasblazen was een snel groeiende sector en La Gobeleterie werd snel toonaangevend in Europa. Vanaf 1935 heette het Dur-O-Bor en produceerde vooral asbakken, glazen en flessen. Tot in 1957 het eerste glas op steel werd uitgebracht, de Napoli. 
In 1960 verwierf multinational Owens-Illinois 99,3% van de aandelen en in 1975 lanceerde Durobor hun typische glazen met zware voet met daarin een luchtbel. Tegen 1980 exporteerde Durobor naar +80 landen. 
Vanaf 1983 kocht de Belgische holding SADEMAT zich in, tot het in 1989 het hele bedrijf in handen had. De onsuccesvolle overname van het Britse Ravenhead Glass in 1993 leidde tot de sluiting van de Britse vestiging in 2001 en tot een reeks financiële moeilijkheden. 
Even ging het beter toen Durobor in 2004 de "verrines" of hapjesglaasjes uitvond en vanaf 2005 ook bedrukte glazen kon produceren. Er volgden nog meer overnamerondes en kapitaalinjecties tot het bedrijf in 2017 in handen kwam van de Nederlands groep Herman Green. Uiteindelijk sloot Durobor voorgoed in mei 2019.

Format: Paperback
A quick but thoughtful read. This book is great to share with friends and an excellent conversation starter without being exactly political, in the negative sense of the word. Inspires constructive conversation regardless of your background.

It's How Wars End That Become Important Afterward
Format: Paperback
The twentiety century taught us a lot about wars and how they end. World War I showed us that making strong demands on the defeated (who didn't admit defeat to their own people) set the stage for the next big war. World War II was fought until the Unconditional Surrender of the Germans and Japanese. Something that thinkers still debate as having made them fight all that harder. VietNam was fought with no clear end in sight, and "another VietNam" entered our language. The first Gulf War was ended when Colin Powell and Bush II debated how to end the war. They stopped before they had to go in and see what the Sunni's, Shiite's and Kurds made of the power vacuum left by the removal of Saddam would have created. Bush II is learning about this now. This is the second revised edition of this book, originally published in 1971 and then updated in 1991 and now 2005 to reflect happenings in new wars. Still some of the old wars had interesting insights that I didn't know before, such as how Finland, originally on Germany's side against Russia, made a peace with Russia and kicked the Germans out before they became a Russian province. Great Book.

Complementary readings
Format: Paperback
There are already three good reviews so I will only suggest reading the following books instead of, or in addition to, this peculiar work: a) "War in human civilization" by Azar Gat; b) "War before Civilization. The Myth of the Peaceful Savage", by Lawrence Keeley; c) "How War Began" by Keith F. Otterbein; d) "War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires" by Peter Turchin; and e) "War and the Law of Nations: A General History" by Stephen Neff.
