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.

Le procès de Jacques Cœur, Grand Argentier de Charles VII, mais aussi homme d’affaires le plus riche du Royaume, a laissé des documents qui éclairent de manière exceptionnelle l’histoire de la mine de Pampailly dans le Rhône, pendant quelques années au milieu du XVes. Exploitée essentiellement pour l’argent, la mine produisait aussi de grandes quantités de plomb et un peu de cuivre. Ces documents sont à l’origine de l’enquête archéologique menée depuis une quinzaine d’années sur ce site. Celle-ci a utilisé, outre les méthodes de fouille et de prospection traditionnelles, les techniques d’exploration souterraine de la spéléologie minière et fait appel constamment aux ressources des sciences physiques et naturelles. L’étude géologique a permis de comprendre la nature et la forme du filon, donc les conditions de son exploitation, la géophysique a décelé nombre de vestiges enfouis, les analyses chimiques des minerais et des résidus de traitement donnent une idée de plus en plus précise des opérations métallurgiques réalisées sur place alors que la métallographie a révélé la manière dont étaient fabriqués et réparés les outils des mineurs. Prospections souterraines, fouilles et études de laboratoire ont été confrontées aux textes anciens. Cette démarche a permis de reconstituer de nombreux aspects techniques, économiques et sociaux de la vie de l’entreprise. Apparaît alors une mine, de dimensions moyennes à l’échelon européen, mais qui est probablement la première productrice d’argent du royaume de France. L’exploitation s’enfonce à plus de 200 m sous terre et s’étend sur plusieurs hectomètres. Environ cent cinquante personnes s’emploient à l’extraction et au travail des minerais quand tout un monde de charbonniers, de transporteurs et de fournisseurs vivent aussi de l’activité de Pampailly. Pampailly se révèle comme un lieu d’innovation aussi bien dans le domaine du traitement métallurgique que dans celui de l’extraction. Ainsi a été mise au jour une voie de roulage…

"Ernest Solvay, philanthropist and organizer of the world-famous Solvay conferences on physics, discovered a profitable way of making soda ash in 1861. Together with a handful of associates, he laid the foundations of the Solvay company, which successfully branched out into other chemicals, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Since its emergence in 1863, Solvay has maintained world leadership in the production of soda ash. This is the first scholarly book on the history of the Solvay company, which was one of the earliest chemical multinationals and today is among the world's twenty largest chemical companies. It is also one of the largest companies in the field to preserve its family character. The authors analyze the company's 150-year history (1863-2013) from economic, political and social perspectives, showing the enormous impact geopolitical events had on the company and the recent consequences of global competition"--
