Metal Powders
A Global Survey of Production, Applications and Markets
Why people recommend it
Metal Powders by Joseph M. Capus is a technical reference work focused on the science and industrial applications of powdered metallurgy. During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience for episode #679 - Barry Crimmins & Bobcat Goldthwait, recorded on August 6, 2015, comedian Barry Crimmins referenced related cultural touchstones while discussing the philosophies of NAMBLA. Although Crimmins did not specifically analyze the metallurgical manual, he invoked the film adaptation of Powder to draw a parallel regarding how certain ideologies are translated into media financed and distributed through mainstream channels. The conversational detour touched upon the controversial nature of the film's director and the thematic underpinnings of the philosophies being debated on the program. While the technical text by Capus itself deals strictly with materials science and particulate engineering, the podcast dialogue utilized adjacent media references to explore the societal dissemination of fringe and harmful belief systems. Observers of media critique often examine how such discussions weave together disparate cultural and artistic artifacts to underscore ideological arguments.
