The Metallurgic Age: The Victorian Flowering of Invention and Industrial Science Illustrated Edition

by Jr. Quentin R. Skrabec (Author)

---

Throughout history, the use and workmanship of metal has been closely associated with the very notion of civilization. Never was this connection more apparent than during the Metallurgic Age, which coincided with England's Victorian era and the Gilded Age in America. This era, covering essentially the 19th century, saw unprecedented advances as a passion for technology and learning fueled a period of discovery and of practical application of the sciences.

This work explores in depth the connection between Victorian creativity and the advance of engineering. It examines this age of accelerated invention and the evolution of new fields such as metallurgy, automotive engineering, aerodynamics and industrial arts. Numerous unsung inventors--many of whom lost one or more of the frequent patent battles that peppered the era--are remembered here along with the concept of the meta-invention. The result is a revealing look at how metallurgy permeated all areas of Victorian life and affected changes from the kitchen to the battlefield.

Dear Quentin, please send me a copy as even your front cover provides possible links to my research....re monitors and John Mercer Brooke and the CSS Virginia, Naysmith's steam hammer,  industrial espionage .. ..Le Creusot and Krupp ( for all these there are company / industrial design links with  Nautilus) as well as your possible  photographic reference to the golden spike ceremony, the first trans American railway and the role of George Francis Train....the first man to go around the world in 80 days. I am in touch with John Quarnstein (the Director Emeritus of the Monitor Museum in Virginia) re Brooke and his influence on both Vernes 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Around the Moon (the Soundings of the Susquehanna). Do you know of him? Best wishes John
