Sinossi

"Steel Changing Worlds" explores the profound impact of steel, a transformative material, on human civilization. From skyscrapers to vehicles, steel's unique properties have reshaped construction, transportation, and tool manufacturing. Consider the Bessemer process, a pivotal technological breakthrough that enabled mass steel production and revolutionized industries worldwide. The book argues that steel catalyzed unprecedented progress, enabling engineering feats and industrial expansion previously unimaginable. It examines steel's impact on construction, highlighting its adoption in bridges, railways, and buildings, such as the Brooklyn Bridge. It also explores the transportation revolution fueled by steel, particularly the development of steel rails that facilitated the rapid expansion of railway networks. Drawing from historical records, engineering reports, and metallurgical studies, the book offers a fact-based account, synthesizing technical information with historical narratives. The book unfolds across three primary sections, delving into steel's impact on construction, transportation, and tools. It connects to interdisciplinary fields like economics and sociology, examining steel's influence on trade, urbanization, and social stratification. "Steel Changing Worlds" avoids overly technical jargon, making it accessible to a broad audience interested in technology and history.

    Murder, manslaughter, suicide, mishap - the very public business of determining death in colonial Sydney. 
     Murder in colonial Sydney was a surprisingly rare occurrence, so when it did happen it caused a great sensation. People flocked to the scene of the crime, to the coroner's court and to the criminal courts to catch a glimpse of the accused. 
      
    Most of us today rarely see a dead body. In nineteenth century Sydney, when health was precarious and workplaces and the busy city streets were often dangerous, witnessing a death was rather common. And any death that was sudden or suspicious would be investigated by the coroner.  
    Henry Shiell was the Sydney City Coroner from 1866 to 1889. In the course of his unusually long career he delved into the lives, loves, crimes, homes and workplaces of colonial Sydneysiders. He learnt of envies, infidelities, passions, and loyalties, and just how short, sad and violent some lives were. But his court was also, at times, instrumental in calling for new laws and regulations to make life safer. 
      
    Catie Gilchrist explores the nineteenth century city as a precarious place of bustling streets and rowdy hotels, harbourside wharves and dangerous industries. With few safety regulations, the colourful city was also a place of frequent inquests, silent morgues and solemn graveyards. This is the story of life and death in colonial Sydney.

    As far as skirmishes go, Fort Pillow was a completely unremarkable fight. Before attacking, Forrest demanded the unconditional surrender of the Union garrison, a normal custom of his, and he warned the Union commanding officer that he would not be responsible for his soldiers’ actions if the warning went unheeded. What made Fort Pillow markedly different was that a sizable amount of the Union garrison defending the Fort was comprised of black soldiers, which particularly enraged Confederate soldiers whenever they encountered those they viewed as former slaves in the field. It is still unclear exactly how the fighting unfolded, but what is clear is that an unusually high percentage of Union soldiers were killed, and the Confederates were accused of massacring black soldiers after they had surrendered. Primary sources tell conflicting accounts of what happened at Battle of Fort Pillow, leaving scholars to piece together the battle and determine whether Confederate soldiers purposely shot Union soldiers after they had surrendered. 
    The mine that precipitated the Battle of the Crater during the Siege of Petersburg produced one of the most amazing scenes of the entire Civil War. The force of the explosion created a crater that was nearly 200 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 30 feet deep. Remnants of the crater can still be seen today. But through a mix of bad luck, fog of war, and incompetent leadership, the Union assault that followed the explosion was badly bungled. Instead of capturing Petersburg, the Battle of the Crater was a Union debacle that left more than 4,000 Union soldiers killed, wounded, or captured. The Confederates lost about 1,500, with nearly 300 of them being casualties of the initial explosion. The Battle of the Crater didn’t help the Confederates much in front of Petersburg, but it remains the most memorable and controversial battle of the entire siege.
