W. H. Dennis is a graduate of the University of London and was a member of the British Institute of mining and Metallurgy. He is the author of numerous books including Metallurgy of the Non-Ferrous Metals, Metallurgy of the Ferrous Metals, and Metals in the Service of Man
-Dennis has compressed a hundred years of metallurgy into this
short volume with considerable success. He covers the history of
ore dressing and pyrometallurgy in the introductory chapters and
then discusses in detail the developments in iron and steel
metallurgy... The beginning student of metallurgy should find this
book of great interest and a ready source of reference. In addition
to an excellent index, each chapter is followed by a short
bibliography, and a brief glossary provides definitions of the more
unusual metallurgical terms.- --B. R. Queneau, Science
