About the Book

Provides an introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering, answering some fundamental questions about how the material world around us functions. This book focuses on so-called strong materials, such as metals, wood, ceramics, glass, and bone, and explains the physical and chemical basis for its inherent structural qualities.

About the Author :
J. E. Gordon (1913-1998) was Professor of Materials Technology Emeritus at the University of Reading and is the author of "Structures, or Why Things Don't Fall Down". Philip Ball is a freelance science writer and a consultant editor for "Nature", and is the author of "Designing the Molecular World" and "Made to Measure" (both Princeton).

Review :
"I was thoroughly charmed and won over by this book which I now recommend to all my colleagues."--Daniel C. Mattis, American Journal of Physics Praise for Princeton's original edition: "Princeton has brought to the public a highly readable treatise on the science of materials that emphasizes the strength of chemical and physical bonds, crystal structure, and cracks... The author admits the necessity of being highly selective in the materials he can discuss so broadly, but he ably presents chemical and physical problems and how they have been solved in an orderly fashion, and he shows that the strength of materials is influenced as much by their environment and loading systems as by their own structures and shapes."--S. W. Dobyns, Science Books and Films
