Metal Men
Author: A. Craig Copetas
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1497626285
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
This true story of the multibillionaire who fled to Switzerland “reads like a mystery novel” (USA Today). How did Marc Rich make over ten billion dollars while paying hardly any taxes? Journalist A. Craig Copetas infiltrated the inner circle of the commodities market and Rich’s associates to show not only how the metals and minerals trader pulled off the scam, becoming one of America’s most wanted criminals, but also how other traders have used the same model to evade taxes as well. A continuing figure of controversy even after his death, Rich, a hedge fund manager and the founder of Glencore, was wanted for evading almost ninety million dollars in taxes and if caught, could have spent life in prison. From a former staff reporter at The Wall Street Journal, Metal Men is a story of international intrigue spanning the globe, from the inside of the White House to the Kremlin, a brilliantly researched work that exposes the inner workings of one of country’s largest scams. “Mr. Copetas is at his best evoking the high-stakes, fast-paced life of the commodities traders: the greed and corruption that consume them are the stuff of high drama.” —The New York Times Book Review

Metallography and Microstructure in Ancient and Historic Metals
Author: David A. Scott
Publisher: Getty Publications
ISBN: 0892361956
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
David A. Scott provides a detailed introduction to the structure and morphology of ancient and historic metallic materials. Much of the scientific research on this important topic has been inaccessible, scattered throughout the international literature, or unpublished; this volume, although not exhaustive in its coverage, fills an important need by assembling much of this information in a single source. Jointly published by the GCI and the J. Paul Getty Museum, the book deals with many practical matters relating to the mounting, preparation, etching, polishing, and microscopy of metallic samples and includes an account of the way in which phase diagrams can be used to assist in structural interpretation. The text is supplemented by an extensive number of microstructural studies carried out in the laboratory on ancient and historic metals. The student beginning the study of metallic materials and the conservation scientist who wishes to carry out structural studies of metallic objects of art will find this publication quite useful.

The Metal Men Archives Vol. 2
Author: Robert Kanigher

ISBN: 9781401238674
Category : Comic books, strips, etc
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
One of the most colorful super-hero teams of the early 1960s, the Metal Men are six shape-shifting robots whose personalities are based on their metals: Hot-tempered Mercury, timid Tin, thick-headed Lead, etc. Invented by eccentric scientist Dr. Will Magnus, the team is ready to give their all - including their artificial lives - to protect mankind. In these tales, never before reprinted in color, the Metal Men take on the Gas Gang, including Helium, Oxygen, Chloroform and more, save lives at the "Playground of Terror," try to stop the deadly rain of "The Missile Men," and battle Chemo, a giant, human-shaped vat filled with deadly chemicals.

Metallurgy
Author: W.H. Dennis
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351505653
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 477
Book Description
The world's output of metals during the 100 year period of 1863-1963 was greater than in all the previous years of man's history. In the nineteenth century the only metals available to industry were cast and wrought iron and a few non-ferrous metals and their alloys; by the latter part of the twentieth century, steel and aluminum dominated the world, and metals that were mere laboratory curiosities provided the basis for the technology of nuclear energy and space travel. This book records the extraordinary history of metallurgical progress, in which metal art was replaced by metal science. It remains a classic work on the subject. The book begins with an introductory chapter that surveys the entire field to be covered, and follows with eight chapters each dealing with progress in one of the major branches of the metallurgical industry: ore dressing, pyrometallurgy, iron and steel, the major non-ferrous metals, new metals (such as uranium, germanium and cobalt), precious metals, the shaping of metals, and metallography. The book reviews developments in all countries, but American practice - which led the world - is given special prominence. A glossary of metallurgical terms and full name and subject indexes are included. The book is a basic reference work as well as an absorbing history of an important aspect of man's technological progress.
