This text provides up-to-date knowledge of structural properties and processing of materials and their application. The book has always been a comprehensive reference - unlike other texts, it covers topics such as electronic materials, engineering plastics and advanced composite materials.
A great introduction to Materials Science. Didn’t need much background knowledge or experience to read, understand, and appreciate the content.
Every chapter relates to a new, but often equally important, part of our world. Walk away looking at all materials ( i.e. everything) differently. Full of cool phenomena, important concepts, and practical equations, diagrams, images, and tables.
