Book excerpt: A world that had changed little from the Middle Ages was altered beyond recognition by the engineering genius of the nineteenth century:rivers tamed, oceans pacified, continents bridged. In Dreams of Iron and Steel, acclaimed historian Deborah Cadbury tells the heroic tale of the visionaries and ordi-nary workers who brought to life seven wonders of engi-neering that still have the power to awe and inspire us today. From the London sewers that banished cholera to the Panama Canal that shaved thousands of miles off a dangerous sea passage, from the Hoover Dam that diverted the world's most unpredictable river to give power to over half of the country to the transcontinental railroad that fulfilled the dream of manifest destiny, Dreams of Iron and Steel reveals the epic struggles and personal stories of the most brilliant pioneers of the industrial age, and the financiers and politicians who hung on for the ride as fortunes and reputations were lost and won. Fueled by Deborah Cadbury's characteristic scholarship and insight, this extraordinary chronicle re-createsthe human odyssey of how our modern world was forged -- with rivets, grease, and steam, but also with blood, sweat, and extreme imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iron and Steel. Ceramics. Dyes. Glass. Gold. All are important materials that have impacted civilization. In Ruth G. Kassinger's five-book Material World series, she traces the history and science of these important materials and tells how they are being used today. Ancient people of the Near East were the first to discover how to turn iron ore into wrought iron and then to fashion this sturdy metal into tools, weapons, and other implements. Later, blacksmiths learned to make iron into steel. In Iron and Steel: from Thor's Hammer to the Space Shuttle, Kassinger covers the history of iron and steel from early times to the present. She also relates some of the myths associated with these materials and explains the science behind their production and use. Book jacket.

Book excerpt: Reclaiming The Dream of Dr. King Jr. Through Lyric Poems of I Have to Dream. Out of Africa comes the king of peace, and his dreams for truth and justice for all people. Out of his father's heritage comes his wisdom and eloquence in speech. Out of his desire for knowledge comes his insight that discerns the true meaning of existence. From his love for unity and harmony comes the fruit of life and living that develops from social gospel of righteousness to correct social wrongs. Thus the seed for the harvest of civil rights is planted in the green pastures of Atlanta, and the stage is set for the manifestation of his vocation in life. Rambunctious is his instinct from his youth as he lives a restless life of searching for the future in his thirst for knowledge. And bounty is the harvest of the change, which fulfills his goal of making all people's dreams come true.
