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.

Om het munitietekort van het Britse leger te helpen oplossen, maakten vierduizend Belgen tussen 1916 en 1919 granaten in een fabriek in Birtley, Noord-Engeland. Het waren haast allemaal afgekeurde soldaten en vluchtelingen. Met hun gezinnen erbij waren ze met zesduizend. Voor hen werd naast de fabriek een compleet Belgisch barakkendorp gebouwd : Elisabethville. De straatnamen waren er Belgisch, net als het ziekenhuis, de kerk, de begraafplaats en de school. Er waren ook Belgische winkels, muziekverenigingen, toneelkringen en sportclubs. Na de oorlog verdwenen de Belgen uit Birtley even snel als ze waren gekomen. Her verhaal van Birtley-Elisabethville en de Birtley Belgians werd nog nooit zo boeiend en gedetailleerd verteld als door Dirk Musschoot in "Belgen maken bommen".
