Well...I promised Mr. Waldman I'd write a review after finishing his book. I haven't read what other have written. So, if I'm duplicating any sentiments, my apologies."Rust" is a simply a great book. It characterizes this "longest war" in terms of the people that stay up all night worrying about what corrosion could do to our modern way of life. It gives a face to a number of remarkable unsung heroes who are helping America look at our throw-away society in different longer-term way. Jonathan Waldman writes about these people in an entertaining and intellectual way that brings you up close and personal to their worlds.As someone that is interested in the business of combating corrosion, I found every page filled with information on a rather obscure segment of industry. It's jammed packed with details of the science, societies and personalities of the business of rust. I'll continue to use this insider's view of rust as a reference going forward as I begin waging war on rust myself through my own entrepreneurial pursuits. Thanks for all of the hard work Jonathan.
A good friend of mine in Hong Kong found this book by chance while scrolling the shelves of a local bookstore and recommended it to me. I have read it and enjoyed it immensely – thank you Mr Waldman for this wonderful collection of corrosion-related stories as told anecdotally through the lives of so many interesting characters. I really appreciate your unique sense of humor blended with tons of solid data and useful reference. I have since bought 12 more copies to give to friends, colleagues and customers as gifts. Anyone who ever thinks that corrosion is boring should read this very entertaining book. Bruce P - Morristown, NJ
The first half of the book is incredibly informative and I felt that the price was justified just for that. If you're interested in metal working origins and how rust has affected various industries then this is a fantastic book.However it does tend to meander after about half way and goes on about a photographer and an eccentric military man and neither story has much to do with rust or was very interesting to me personally.I want to be clear though that the first half is great.
This should be been called "Rust: The Story of Some People Involved with Corrosion." There's some interesting information in this book about the corrosion of the Statue of Liberty, oil pipelines, old factories, and so-on, but the bulk of Mr. Waldman's writing is profiling individuals who are working on corrosion prevention and remediation. His obsession with those people is a bit much; for example, he seems fixated on men's mustaches. Perhaps he thinks it's funny, but got tiresome fairly quickly.He is also a bit fixated on himself, such as his poor relations with the industry group working on linings for metal food cans. Corrosion on metal cans? Fascinating. Why the industry doesn't like him? Uninteresting.Frankly, finishing this book became a chore. It could have been excellent if a tough editor had encouraged Mr. Waldman to focus more on rust & corrosion, and less on trying to imitate People Magazine.
Hard to know exactly where to start here.Waldman has put together a book on a topic that, on the face of it and judging by the title, one might have a struggle finding a less interesting subject - rust? Really? Kind of like watching cement set.Not so. Waldman has a gift for doing what all very good writers can do - he takes a topic about which I imagine few of us know in any detail whatsover, beyond "it's time to get a new car, the body is starting to rust out", and peels back the (considerable) onion on not only rust, but the entire process and impact of corrosion in general - or, as one might say, a huge wing of entropy.For those of us who love the exposition of the details of processes we've spent little or no time considering, this is great. The Statue of Liberty, bridges, pipelines, buildings....they're all going to hell. And that process starts from the moment that the materials roll off the manufacturing line - everything's on the clock. That 100-story skyscraper? That's going to go, whether we like it or not. Those bridges? Gone. How? How is this possible?The world is a tough place. Waldman gets into the details on the constant war against corrosion, and there is considerable science and fascination behind all of it. While I imagine this sort of writing is especially interesting to those who have a desire to understand how everything works, I also know that it will pull in those who have no connection to engineering, or similar disciplines. Here's a touch point: if you like John McPhee, you're going to like this book.Waldman's style lends a bit of gonzo journalism to this chase - he's The Man On The Scene, and parenthetically adds asides that make you smile or laugh. Part of the humor taken from his various interviews and encounters may have to do with the individuals and corporations in question wondering: why are you interested in this subject, since so few are? Which, by the way, seems to be the presiding problem overall. It takes a visionary on this topic to address it successfully both as a profession and as a writer - why else would anyone else care?I'm glad that Mr. Waldman cared enough to write it. He's a stylist in the best sense - in the same manner that leads one to read articles in the New York Times or The New Yorker on subjects outside of any previous interest simply because they are so well-written.I had a great time reading this. Give it a shot. You will likely be glad you did.
Hoping for a more scientific approach but I did come away with more knowledge. Wanted to know more about dissimilar metals and he does touch on that a bit. The most interesting part I think was about the maintenance and the processes of pigging the pipe line. It is a good read and recommend it for an introduction to corrosion engineering.
As an engineer I was captivated by the title, certainly a worthy subject for a semi technical treatise but written for the layman.It is much more about the people the author meets and what they do then the subject at hand.Readable, but do not buy on impulse (As I did) from reading the title. This is not a Petroski type book, where an incisive examination of the subject is expanded to make entertaining reading.
