  Into Stability: Walter R. Evans and the Story of Root Locus tells the remarkable story of a quiet but transformative breakthrough in engineering—one that reshaped modern control systems and helped guide technological progress during the Cold War. 
  In the late 1940s, as engineers struggled to design increasingly complex feedback systems for aircraft, radar, and emerging technologies, stability remained one of the most difficult problems in control engineering. Walter Evans, working with a rare combination of mathematical insight and practical intuition, developed a graphical technique that allowed engineers to visualize how system stability changed as parameters shifted. This method—later known as the root locus—quickly became one of the most powerful and widely taught tools in control theory. 
  The book traces Evans’s journey from his early life and education through the intellectual environment that shaped his thinking, revealing how curiosity, persistence, and unconventional problem-solving led to a breakthrough that would influence generations of engineers. 
  Beyond the mathematics, Into Stability is also a human story—of family, mentorship, and the legacy of innovation. Gregory W. Evans blends personal recollections with historical context to illuminate how one engineer’s idea spread through classrooms, laboratories, and industries worldwide. The result is both a tribute and a historical narrative that captures the spirit of discovery that drives engineering progress. 
  Ultimately, the book reveals how a deceptively simple graphical technique became a cornerstone of modern control engineering—shaping everything from aerospace systems to robotics and beyond—while honoring the life and contributions of the man who first drew stability into view.

  Steel: From Mine to Mill the...

  Steel is the metal that built the modern world. When its formula was finally deciphered about 150 years ago, it began to flow from hearths in increasing amounts. It built railroads, steel ships, skyscrapers, and bridges around the world, in the process propelling the great powers of the world -- Great Britain, Germany, the United States, Japan, and the Soviet Union -- into global economic dominance. 
  In Steel, author Brooke C. Stoddard follows the fascinating story of iron and steel from pre-history through the Industrial Revolution and into the present age. Stoddard then dives into the world of modern steelmaking, joining the men and women who live in this world every day: he visits open-pit iron mines in the Mesabi Iron range, rides with 58,000 tons of iron ore on a thousand-foot ore boat from Duluth to Cleveland, climbs to the top of the country’s largest blast furnace, interviews workers as they toil next to their furnaces of liquid metal, and walks through the immense rolling mills where steel is pressed into products. 
  The result is an extraordinary book about what many may think of as ordinary, but in reality is the metal that forms the backbone of modern civilization.
