It is discussed here from five points: social responsibility of scientists, migration and movement of scholars, philanthropy and its role in education and culture, enlightened despots and their influence on science and culture, and finally the social aspects of mining. The book is meant for the general reader but can benefit scientists as well. It is fully illustrated with colored pictures. It is hoped that it will serve as an introduction to this field to the young generation and inspire them to serve society. Fathi Habashi Science and Society http://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/89 http://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/89 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:00:27 PDT It is remarkable that certain countries expand to become great empires then as time goes by they gradually decline while others rise. This book attempts to briefly trace the history of chemistry and metallurgy through the different empires that became at one time great and then faded away. In 272 pages 21.5 x 28 cm, the author outlines the inter-relation of chemistry, metallurgy, mining, and medicine, the idea of the divinity of kings and the formation of nations, and finally the rise and fall of the empires. He then covers the ancient and medieval empires, followed by the empires from Central Asia, then the trading empires that started with the great explorations and the discovery of new continents, and finally the modern empires. The book is fully illustrated with many Figures in color.

They are reproduced here in a facsimile edition in 240 pages. In addition ten new chapters were specially written in 150 pages. The book is fully illustrated by many colored pictures, flowsheets, and diagrams. It is hoped that it will be useful for students, engineers, chemists, geologists, and for research workers.

It plays an important role in society and in world economics. It caused unprecedented mass migrations on three continents, and at least one war. It was responsible for creating many large cities, is highly prized, has been the inspiration of numerous myths, was the ultimate goal of alchemists, stored in the vaults of banks, widely on display in oriental bazaars, and is generously used in decorating churches and temples. The present volume is composed of two parts: a collection of selected papers published by the author on the history and extractive metallurgy of gold and are reproduced here in facsimile edition [116 pages]. The second part is composed of chapters specially written for this volume which include topics on the history of gold in ancient civilizations, history of assaying, history of amalgamation, gold refining, as well as other topics that are generally neglected by metallurgists, such as Gold Rushes, Golden Fleece, gold in coinage, and Gold Museums [140 pages]. It is hoped that these topics will give a new dimension to the metallurgy of gold and a real understanding of its role in society. This collection of articles gives a rapid and fully illustrated review of the history and extractive metallurgy of gold.

Fathi Habashi Book Reviews http://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/83 http://works.bepress.com/fathi_habashi/83 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 18:28:17 PST The Historical Metallurgy Committee was founded in 1978 to provide a forum for the Metallurgical Society members interested in the history of metallurgy and to promote the recording of Canadian achievement. One of the first initiatives of the Committee was to sponsor a section in the CIM Bulletin entitled Historical Metallurgy Notes. In this section original research on the history of Canadian metallurgical installation, anniversaries of certain metallurgical events, history of chemistry and metallurgy in the great empires, biographies and obituaries of distinguished metallurgists and mining engineers, and book reviews, have been published. In 1989 a compilation of selected articles from the first ten years was published as a book under the title All That Glitters: Readings in Historical Metallurgy. The Historical Metallurgy Committee holds its meeting during the Annual Conference of Metallurgy with a luncheon and an invited speaker. Contacts have been established with many organizations involved in the history of technology and metallurgy. The Compendium covers the list of articles and book reviews so far published.
