Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers interested in the history of the circular economy and scrap recycling
- Enthusiasts studying early industrial technology and engineering literature
- Learners who want to encounter old technical books in the original English
- Readers who want to understand the evolution of resource-reuse concepts from a historical perspective
Not a good fit for
- Practitioners who need current technical parameters for waste treatment
- Readers expecting systematic interpretation of environmental policy or regulations
- General readers who prefer light, story-driven reading
Reading tips
- First read the table of contents and chapter titles, and select the scrap categories relevant to your own industry for close reading.
- Keep a notebook to record the book's classification approach and cost awareness, so you can compare them with today's practices.
- Treat specific processes as historical information; when you encounter unfamiliar terms, skip them first and come back later.
- You can read it alongside modern circular-economy materials to appreciate the continuities and changes in thinking over a century.

About the author
The American Bureau of Engineering, Chicago, is an engineering body based in Chicago, United States, often referred to in Chinese materials as the "Chicago American Engineering Bureau." Publicly available information is limited: its founding date, organizational history and specific functions are not clearly documented, and it can only be confirmed that it was active in the engineering field and published engineering books and materials. The library holds only one work by this author, Profits from Scrap, whose title suggests a practical engineering publication on industrial waste recycling and cost control, aimed at engineering practitioners and production managers. This reflects the body's practical, industry-oriented approach to compiling and publishing. Overall, it is better described as an institutional author known for compiling and publishing engineering materials than as an engineering scholar famous for personal writings.
