The Wood Age: How one material shaped the whole of human history

Product Information

Beyond the swords, daggers, lanceheads and spearheads made to arm the militia, Iron Age ferrous metals were also used in the burgeoning agricultural and construction sectors, for chains, ploughs, reaping hooks, scythes, hammers and saws. John Wooden's Seven Point Creed [97] was given to him by his father Joshua upon his graduation from grammar school: There was a time when bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, was the hardest common metal known to humankind, lending its name to the Bronze Age, which occupies the gap between the stone and iron ages, in Europe thought to be around 3200-600 BC. Technically, it was preceded by the lesser-known Chalcotholic period, when copper metalworking was the main technology.

When he was a boy, Wooden's role model was Fuzzy Vandivier of the Franklin Wonder Five, a legendary team that dominated Indiana high school basketball from 1919 to 1922. After his family moved to the town of Martinsville when he was 14, [11] Wooden led his high school team to a state tournament title in 1927. [12] He was a three-time All-State selection.

These resemble tombs found in Scotland and France. They comprise a narrow gallery with two or more chambers accessed through a portico and opening into a large open court which probably acted as a gathering area for mourners.

The end of the Iron Age is generally considered to coincide with the Roman Conquests, and history books tell us that it was succeeded by Antiquity and then the Middle Ages. It wasn’t until the 1300s that another material, glass, could lay claim to a material age. Glass: windows, bottles and beyond Glass Age: 1300-present Prior to Wooden's arrival at UCLA, the basketball program had only had two conference championship seasons in the previous 18 years. In his first season, he took a Bruins team that had posted a 12–13 record the previous year and transformed it into a Pacific Coast Conference (PCC) Southern Division champion with a 22–7 record, [4] the most wins in a season for UCLA since the school started playing basketball in 1919. [31] He surpassed that number the next season with 24–7 and a second division title and overall conference title in 1950, and would add two more in his first four years. Up to that time, UCLA had collected a total of two division titles since the PCC began divisional play, and had not won a conference title of any sort since winning the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1927.

Third and last in the conventional sequence of prehistoric technology ages, the Iron Age is by far the shortest, sitting between the collapse of the Bronze Age and the beginning of recorded (i.e. written) history. Although the period gets its name from the widespread employment of ferrous metallurgy and the early evolution of carbon steels for tools and weaponry, iron’s emergence as the pre-eminent engineering material of the era was not ushered in by any significant innovations in materials processing. Its rise was more a reflection of the economic conditions created by a series of events in the Mediterranean (volcanic eruptions, invasions, as well as failures of governments) leading to massive disruptions in the international tin trade around 1300BC.Pace, Frank (March 30, 2003).

It is clear that the Vikings were master boat-builders, as their crafts were infinitely superior to anything Ireland had seen up to that date. Possessing both sail and oars, these boats were being heavily armoured and very sturdily built, largely from oak beams. They also bore intricate designs of carved decorations. Lenny Wilkens, Bill Sharman and Tommy Heinsohn are the only other basketball players who have since achieved the same honors. [7]
