Abstract

Postage stamps are important means of communication and many countries have recorded important events, honored worthy individuals, and described interesting facts through this medium. Many historical facts, sometimes obscure, can be found on stamps. Stamps have artistic value, they are created by artists. The present 125-page book is a facsimile edition of 20 articles published by the author in different technical journals; fully illustrated in color. They cover the history of metallurgy, industrial minerals, history of mining, and selected topics such as refractories, metal casting, welding, and mining equipment.
