Although the last two generations have seen an enormous amount of
attention paid to advances in electronics, the fact remains that
high-income, high-energy societies could thrive without microchips,
etc., but, by contrast, could not exist without steel. Because of
the importance of this material to comtemporary civilization, a
comprehensive resource is needed for metallurgists,
non-metallurgists, and anyone with a background in environmental
studies, industry, manufacturing, and history, seeking a broader
understanding of the history of iron and steel and its current and
future impact on society. Given its coverage of the history of iron
and steel from its genesis to slow pre-industrial progress,
revolutionary advances during the 19th century, magnification of
19th century advances during the past five generations, patterns of
modern steel production, the ubiquitous uses of the material,
potential substitutions, advances in relative dematerialization,
and appraisal of steel's possible futures, Still the Iron Age: Iron
and Steel in the Modern World by world-renowned author Vaclav Smil
meets that need.
