Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the iron ores of Scotland throughout their history. It begins with the primitive tools and techniques used for mining and smelting in ancient times and traces how these evolved to allow the Industrial Revolution to happen. The author describes the different types of ore found in Scotland and the methods used to extract the iron, and includes key statistics and maps for reference. The author also explores the changing economic conditions that spurred innovation and led to the rise of the iron industry. From the local production of iron for tools and weapons to the mass production of iron, steel, and other metals that fueled the building of railways and steamships, this volume provides a comprehensive history of Scottish iron ores and their profound impact on Scotland's development.
