Reviews

The work offers insight into the embedded complexities of the sustainability agenda, via historical consideration of one material - steel. This provides a vehicle for addressing the ways in which humans have historically conceived of and produced their world. It goes beyond conventional commodity histories, in addressing the philosophical conditions in which the production and consumption of steel originates.
