5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent reference book for undergrads in Mat Sci,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Ceramics, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent introduction to Ceramics. But, as an added bonus, it also comprehensively covers most of the topics in the Materials Science undergradute curriculum making it an excellent reference book.

The Ceramics Bible,
By Dennis (Belmont, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Ceramics, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a tour-de-force textbook that covers the fundamental science behind ceramics and glass. And to the extent that the same energy equations (for kinetics, thermodynamics, stress and strain, defects, light transmission, grain boundaries, etc) apply to other inorganic materials, this book is an understandable reference for them too. It was the bible at MIT for Ceramics Mat Sci BS and MS students. Well indexed, a usable teaching and reference book.

Ages like fine wine!,
By Gigi Fufu "gigi fufu" (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Ceramics, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
Having received a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering, I have read most, if not all, of the required reading at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This book is one of a few that remain on my bookshelf and that I continually refer to.
The beauty of this book is that despite its age (published 1976), it remains relevant and represents a rare classic. Even though the price tag is hefty, it is well worth the investment. It is hugely comprehensive and well written. This is a must-have for anyone in the Materials field.
