The History of Stainless Steel provides a fascinating glimpse into a vital material that we may take for granted today. Stainless steel, called "the miracle metal" and "the crowning achievement of metallurgy" by the prominent metallurgist Carl Zapffe, is a material marvel with an equally fascinating history of people, places, and technology. As stainless steel nears the hundredth anniversary of its discovery, The History of Stainless Steel by Harold Cobb is a fitting perspective on a vital material of our modern life. Aptly called the miracle metal by the renowned metallurgist Carl Zapffe, stainless steel is not only a metallurgical marvel, but its history provides an equally fascinating story of curiosity, competitive persistence, and entrepreneurial spirit. The History of Stainless Steel is the world's first book that captures the unfolding excitement and innovations of stainless steel pioneers and entrepreneurs. Many new insights are given into the work of famous pioneers like Harry Brearley, Elwood Haynes, and Benno Strauss, including significant technical contributions of lesser known figures like William Krivsky. This fascinating history of stainless steel exemplifies the great push of progress in the 20th Century. From the stainless steel cutlery of Brearley in 1913, stainless steel burst on the modern scene in many tangible ways. Excerpted text by William Van Alen, architect of the Chrysler Building, describes the early architectural use of stainless steel. Another historic application of stainless steel is the revolution in rail travel by the Edward G. Budd Company, which built the first light-weight stainless steel passenger trains--with an astounding 90% reduction in fuel costs. This remains recognized today as one of the technological marvels of the modern world. Harold Cobb, a metallurgist who has spent much of his career in the stainless steel industry, uncovers many interesting stories and insights, including a special perspective on the prominent role of stainless steel in the activities of emerging technical societies such as the American Society for Metals and the American Society for Testing and Materials. Amply illustrated and with a 78-page timeline, this publication truly evokes the inspirations created by and from stainless steel.

Excerpt from The Romance of Steel: The Story of a Thousand Millionaires This book is the first popular history of our greatest American industry. The wonderful story of steel is here told in such a way that those who have no technical knowledge of steel-making may enjoy and appreciate the miracles that have been accomplished. First, it is a story of the electric expansion of a business from bankruptcy to billions. It is an American story of self-help - of the unprivileged men who climbed from poverty to the commercial supremacy of the world. And also it is a biography of that most useful of all metals - the structural metal of modern civilisation. Now that the iron and steel business has passed into the hands of more than sixty thousand stockholders, there has come a demand for a popular book on the subject, which shall be not only picturesque, but accurate and instructive as well. Therefore, while I have written these pages after the manner of fiction, the facts have been gathered from the highest authorities. Fully nine-tenths of the material has been obtained at first hand, either from the Steel Kings themselves or from original documents. The book is, in fact, the result of a two-years' study of the American iron and steel business, made on the spot, and with the assistance of many experts. I take this opportunity to express my thanks to the following gentlemen for their courtesy and friendly co-operation: - Andrew Carnegie, H. C. Prick, John Fritz, Charles M. Schwab, Elbert H. Gary, George W. Perkins, George Gould, James M. Swank, George Lauder, John Walker, F. T. F. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Richard Matheson's classic short story is now the basis for Real Steel, a gritty, white-knuckle film starring Hugh Jackman. But "Steel," which was previously filmed as a powerful episode of the original Twilight Zone television series, is just one of over a dozen unforgettable tales in this outstanding collection, which includes two new stories that have never appeared in any previous Matheson collection. Also featured is a bizarre satirical fantasy, "The Splendid Source," that was turned into an episode of The Family Guy. Imagine a future in which the sport of boxing has gone high-tech. Human boxers have been replaced by massive humanoid robots. And former champions of flesh-and-blood are obsolete . . . . Richard Matheson was recently inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Steel: And Other Stories demonstrates once again the full range of his legendary imagination.
