"Coal and coke. Technology and Risks"
"We are accustomed to call coal "natural" resource. Indeed, if the land would not be deposits of coal, coal trade would not exist. In this sense, the coal was indeed factor nature. However, the presence of coal was not enough to start trade of coal. It began to develop only with the growth of the international economy, coal was a social artefact to the same extent as the fact of nature."
"Smelting iron with coke has become one of the most significant inventions of the Industrial Revolution, extremely important in the long run, because this technology has enabled the production of iron, necessary for the mechanization of industry and the construction of railroads and steamships."
