Robin Stewardson’s 2011 biography Founding Brass spotlights his great-grandfather George Stewardson, the Australian pioneer who shaped the modern extruded-metals trade. Across 334 crisp pages, the book traces one family’s leap from 19th-century tinkering to global brass supply, giving engineers, business buffs and history lovers a rare view of industrial ingenuity.

The narrative blends memoir with meticulous research, charting the technical breakthroughs that let George Stewardson corner the market on non-ferrous extrusions. Readers follow furnace trials, wartime contracts and board-room gambles that still echo in today’s metal-processing plants.

This clean, tight paperback shows no markings, dog-ears or smoke odour—just bright pages ready for annotation or gift-giving. Perfect for collectors of Australian business history or anyone curious how a colonial workshop became an extrusion empire.

Grab the authoritative biography of George Stewardson and discover the hidden metal bones beneath modern industry.
