This dictionary is a basic tool for communication among steel industry specialists. Globalization of markets has imposed the need to “speak the same language”, which motivated Alacero to assume the huge task of compiling over 7,000 groups of words Spanish with their equivalents in English and Portuguese, thus giving form to this special dictionary.

Major editorial work that tells about the origin and development of the iron and steel industry in Latin America. The book fills a gap, as it compiles in a single work all the past and present of this industrial activity in the continent.

The only possibility to plan ahead into the future with certainty is, precisely, by fully understanding our origins, knowing about the roots that allowed us to arrive at the current state of the industry in our countries.

Written in a lively and direct style, the work is the result of Venezuelan economist and author Jóvito Martínez' long research, who for many years has been actor and witness of relevant events in the evolution of the region's steel industry.
