This twelve volume set represents the most recent & best available research in the evolution of Indian science & technology, c. 1500BC to the present. Each volume contains detailed essays by specialists in the field, & coverage focuses on one or more related topics: health & medicine (v.1); mathematics & astronomy (v.2); technology (v.3) science (v.4); science & technology (v.5); metals & metal technology (v.6); industries (v.7); coins, metallurgy (v.8); building construction (v.9); irrigation (v.10); geology (v.11); & environment & ecology (v.12). The fourth volume, for example, contains 22 essays (500pp. on scientific interaction with western civilization, evolution of science policy, modern techniques for studying Indian geological evolution, the role of women in Indian science, & theoretical issues (math, cosmology) & how they affected traditional scientific thinking & approaches. Volume six contains 16 essays on irgon technology, gem cutting, metallurgical tools. Each volume has a detailed, separate index. This cooperative project has involved dozens of western & Indian scholars, & the resulting reference work should be a standard source in the history of science for decades to come.

The usefulness of the tract is enhanced by the detailed discussion of the different mines, in different parts of the country, the method of extraction, the composition of different metals in their mined forms, the tools used and the methods of refining. Further, it also describes the manufacture of different objects. The book gives a brief account of mines, mining and products from historical records. In doing so, the author also provides scientific explanation wherever it is needed. Having visited the sites and the working of the process personally, the author provides an authentic account which is not merely extracted from historical and other records. Contents Chapter 1: History of Iron and Steel; Chapter 2: Location of Iron Mines; Chapter 3: Mining; Chapter 4: Smelting; Chapter 5: Steel; Chapter 6: Malleable Iron; Chapter 7: Bar Iron; Chapter 8: Smithy; Chapter 9: Location of Some of the Copper Mines; Chapter 10: Copper Metallurgy; Chapter 11: Zinc Metallurgy; Chapter 12: Gold and Silver; Chapter 13: Fine Metal-Work; Chapter 14: Bidri Metallurgy.

The book marks the Platinum Jubilee of the Indian Institute of Metals, closely matching independent India's age. It is envisaged as a compilation of technical articles tracing the birth and growth trajectory of metallurgical science, engineering and technology in the nation, attempting a degree of prognostication covering the next quarter of a century. It contains the essence of the metallurgical research and development and industrial progress India has witnessed in the last 75 years. This book comprises technical articles written by industry leaders and eminent technocrats. It includes overviews by distinguished researchers who have strived to build foundations of new metallurgical research and engineering fields. It includes learned writings of persons associated with premier institutions heavily dependent on metallurgy and materials. They have made seminal contributions by nurturing the growth of metallurgical research and industrial production or have made first-hand contributions to building the great organisations we have today. Coinciding with the Platinum Jubilee year of the Indian Institute of Metals, this book brings out the enormous efforts of these individuals representing their organisations to share insights that led to their success as an entity. Similarly, several professionals who significantly contributed to the understanding of metallurgical engineering, have held important positions and steered the national strategic programmes or academically nurtured students in their illustrious careers also share their journey in this book. This book chronicles the significant advances made in the field of metallurgical science, engineering and technology in India, presenting the historical perspective and prospects in the format of a technical volume.
