Iron and steel behave like a family with its own tempers, and Hinkley promises to introduce them plainly. Through a test of the imagination, everyday comparisons, and hands-on experiments, he opens the metallurgist's craft to ordinary readers. No jargon, just the secrets of how metals are worked and why. Discover the quiet chemistry hidden inside a steel bar.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
