An excellent book I first read an earlier edition of this book about 15 years ago. I have found myself referring to it regularly over the years, as it contains concise descriptions with detailed enough information for the kinds of engineering problems that I encounter. It provides an easy to understand overview of a very wide spectrum of topics in materials science. I am a practicing engineer with about 20 years of experience, though I still consider myself to be a student. I believe this is an excellent book and wish that I had taken or could take a course that uses this book. | ||
Okay sort of book This author uses an entirely different approach to the teaching of materials science. This book was well-written and accessible. A good text on a rather drab subject. | ||
Elements of materials science and engineering Avoid this book at all costs. I have reviewed/studied over 2,000 engineering/technical manuals/coursebooks/references and this one is one of the absolutely most confusing piecemeal pieces of garbage I have ever seen. At the time of my first acquaintance with this textbook, 1976, as a first year engineering college student I quickly realized that over 50% of my classmates were either hopelessly confused by the mumbo-jumbo presentation of material or were borrowing their frat brothers/ sorority sisters notes/tests to pass the course. Couple this with the instructor's strict adherence to the text and it resulted in the highest failure rate/largest drop-out yield in the history of my school. I have recently reviewed the text once again and as a seasoned engineer may only offer the same advice. | ||
