Product Description
The latest edition of this bestselling textbook treats the important properties of three primary types of material--metals, ceramics, polymers--as well as composites. Describes the relationships that exist between the structural elements of these materials and their characteristics. Emphasizes mechanical behavior and failure along with techniques used to improve the mechanical and failure properties in terms of alteration of structural elements. Individual chapters discuss each of the corrosion, electrical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties plus economic, environmental, and societal issues. Features a design component which includes design examples, case studies, and design type problems and questions.

 Good Text September 1, 2008
Very good book for material science introduction. Gives an overview about all different concepts. I think every materials engineer should have it
 In This Third Edition I Have Retained The Objectives And Philosophies August 27, 2008
"IN THIS THIRD EDITION I HAVE RETAINED THE OBJECTIVES AND PHILOSOPHIES of the first and second editions....."

Great book! For material science and engineering fits very well and for beginners, most part of it, it's good too.
 new materiasl applications but... March 25, 2008
I'm a professor, and I use this book for both: graduate and ungraduate courses, unfortunatelly I have problems for submit as a teacher in the book page, also in students page, aparently this last was designed just for the us students. Is a pity.
Perfect... July 8, 2007
Great book...does a good job of deriving things from first principles. Excellent reference, everything is well-organized. One minor complaint: I wish that the section on analyzing phase diagrams with the lever rule came with a few more examples and better explanations. For that, if I could, I would dock a quarter of a star.
