This unusual study, written by an engineer with expertise in industrial research and pyrotechnology, combines archaeological investigation with technical instruction to examine the scientific and chemical processes which resulted in the ancient furnace. The scope of the book is comprehensive and includes the successes and failures of over 10,000 years of history. Subjects include the use of fuels according to the products made, temperature control, deforestation and the smelting and use of copper and iron. This useful reference work contains varying amounts of technical language, with most jargon confined to the more detailed appendices, in order to make the subject matter more available to a wider readership.

Excerpt from Fire and Explosion Risks: A Handbook Dealing With the Detection, Investigation, and Prevention of Dangers Arising From Fires and Explosions of Chemico-Technical Substances and Establishments; For the Use of Fire Insurance Officials, Fire Brigade Officers, Members of the Legal Prof Of late years great strides have been made in chemistry in connection with Fire Assurance, the prevention and extinction of fires, and the detection of the causes of accidental or premeditated outbreaks; in fact, chemistry has become an indispensable aid in the solution of these important problems. Keeping pace with the development of our civilisation, we may expect that, in the future, the assistance of chemistry will be more and more relied on in the regulation of insurances, the promulgation of legal enactments against fire risk, the detection of incendiarism, and in cases of dispute before the courts. In such eventualities two ways are open, viz.: - 1. Calling in the aid of a chemist, a proceeding not always feasible, oftentimes expensive, and sometimes unsatisfactory, owing to the available chemist being imperfectly versed in the matter of fire prevention. 2. Consulting the literature. This resource also is not always available to the officials interested; and even when it is, the information respecting fire prevention is scattered over such a wide area, as to necessitate special study in order to separate the desired particulars from the enormous bulk of the literature itself. In fact, apart from a few special treatises, such as Professor Hapke's interesting work on "Spontaneous Ignition," Dr. M. Richter's book on "Benzine Fires," and Meunier's old work, there is at the present time no single book dealing so fully with fire risks and fire prevention, in the domain of chemical technology, as to be suitable for all cases, and for the laity.

The most important discovery ever made by man was the use of fire. It was, in fact, a giant stride on the road to civilization. “Tylor E.B. gives interesting details about the discovery of fire, and the various modes of obtaining it in every age. The primitive method of all would seem, according to him, to have consisted in rubbing together two pieces of dry wood, but this process was perfected in the course of time. Thus, friction is produced by means of a stick which is made to slide rapidly to and fro upon a piece of dry, soft wood laid upon the ground (in Tahiti, the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand, Timor, etc.). This process Tylor denominates the stick-and-groove (Fig. 1), but the fire-drill (Figs. 2 and 4) is more generally used. In its simplest form, the fire-drill consists of a stick, one extremity of which is inserted in a hole bored in a piece of dry wood, while the stick itself is twirled between the hands and pressed downward.

In this stunningly original book, Richard Wrangham argues that it was cooking that caused the extraordinary transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus. At the heart of Catching Fire lies an explosive new idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour. As our ancestors adapted to using fire, humans emerged as "the cooking apes". Covering everything from food-labelling and overweight pets to raw-food faddists, Catching Fire offers a startlingly original argument about how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. "This notion is surprising, fresh and, in the hands of Richard Wrangham, utterly persuasive ... Big, new ideas do not come along often in evolution these days, but this is one." -Matt Ridley, author of Genome
