520    "Steel has, over centuries, played a crucial role in 
       shaping our material, and in particular, urban landscapes.
       This books undertakes a cultural and ecological history of
       the material, examining the relationship between steel and
       design at a micro and macro level in terms of both what it
       has been used to design and how it has functioned as a 
       'world-making force'. The research for the book is 
       informed by diverse sources including industry journals, 
       contemporary accounts and technical literature all framed 
       by rich, early accounts of iron and steel making from the 
       middle ages to the opening of the industrial age, and most
       notably, the crucial works of Vannoccio Biringuccio, 
       Georgius Agricola, Andrew Ure and Harry Scrivenor. In 
       contrast, trans-cultural accounts of the history of 
       metallurgy from eminent sinologists and cultural 
       historians like Joseph Needham and G.E.R. Lloyd are used. 
       Readings on the pre-history and history of science, as 
       well as histories and philosophies technology from 
       scholars such as Siegfried Giedion, Merritt Roe Smith, 
       L.T.C Rolt, Robert B. Gordon inform the analysis. Social 
       and economic history from historians such as Eric Hobsbawn,
       William T. Hogan and David Brody are consulted; labour 
       process theory is also examined, particularly the 
       influential writings of F.W. Taylor in the late 19th and 
       early 20th centuries and his contemporary critics, like 
       David Nobel and Harry Braverman. Many other disciples also
       inform the account: histories of urban design and 
       architecture, transport and military history, 
       environmental history and geography"--Provided by
