Architect of the Age of Steel Before Henry Bessemer, steel was a precious commodity. After him, the material that built the modern world was cheap, abundant, and everywhere. This is the definitive history of Sir Henry Bessemer (1813-1898), the self-taught mechanic and industrial outsider who single-handedly launched the Second Industrial Revolution. It chronicles his unique trajectory: from securing a hidden fortune with a closely guarded bronze powder secret, to overcoming the catastrophic failure of his early process, and finally conquering a skeptical world with the revolutionary Bessemer converter. Discover the story of the relentless innovator who, fueled by his own wealth and unwavering conviction, transformed a twenty-minute blast of air into the engine of global progress, forging the steel skeleton that built our skyscrapers, railways, and navies. Bessemer's story is the ultimate testament to how one individual's genius redefined the material constraints of human ambition. Approx.164 pages, 32000 word count
