DESCRIPTION:
Pure metallurgical and historical delight. The many woodcut illustrations in this book really bring it to life. I am very fascinated by the development of the sciences and of engineering practices over the ages and this book is an essential treasure trove. I would strongly encourage anyone with interest in early mining and metallurgical practices to grab a copy.. T G Walter said For all engineers!. A classic book for engineers everywhere! Arrived in excellent condition. Rebar Belcher said De Re Metallica. Not a practical work, however valuable as a record in the developement of human industrial activities. The industrial methods and processes described in De Re Metallica have long been superseded by newer methods. This is the first known text book of mining and metallurgy(1556)and is richly illustrated. Worth the price of admission for the illustrations alone. A classic historical text. RB
