"They constitute the very essence of the modern world; the cadence of our 
progress sounds in the measured ring of the blacksmith's hammer. From 
soaring skyscrapers and sturdy bridges to jet planes and rockets, metals 
play a key role. Our journey begins before the Bronze Age and takes us into 
the shiny future when new metal structures--engineered at a molecular level 
to be stronger, lighter, and cheaper--shape human progress, as they have 
since man first thrust copper into a fire and forged a tool. "
