The Mastery and Uses of Fire in Antiquity
Rehder
From the hardening of clay to the smelting of iron ore to produce iron and steel, this title offers an examination of how fire and furnaces were used in antiquity. Covering the kinds of furnaces, the nature of the fuel, and the productions created, it shows that the arguments that early deforestation resulted from furnace use cannot be supported.
