This book tells, in the simplest terms the author is capable of writing, the day-to-day experiences of a group of dedicated scientists. Their mission was to bring to the world a safe, inexpensive, mineral fiber that everyone could use without fear. It also teaches the background science and engineering required to bring this project to a technical success, only to have the project abandoned as a direct result of its initial reason for existing. Societies worldwide have become so afraid of “asbestos” that any mineral replacement for “asbestos” is viewed as potentially harmful, and is usually attacked immediately after it is announced.
