Media Reviews
Gordon illustrates his argument that cultural values of moderation, liberal education, and provincialism led owners and artisans to concentrate on high-quality, low-volume iron and steel with detailed examples, maps, and charts. He excels at describing individual actions and technical processes. * Choice *
