5.0 out of 5 stars Figures and illustrations make this a winner
This book, and especially the visuals, helped me get through thermodynamics at MIT. Highly recommended as a supplemental text!

2.0 out of 5 stars The Structure of Materials (MIT Series in MSE)
I had an opportunity to use this text book in one of my classes and found the material within the book confusing for the most part. There are NOT many examples worked out following the explanations of complex equations and their applications -- I feel this leads to a rather limited understanding of important concepts. I recommend looking elsewhere for a crystallography...

The seller said book was in "good" condition, but I don't think it had ever been opened before. Great price for a brand new book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book but incomplete, November 7, 2010
This review is from: The Structure of Materials (Mit Series in Materials Science and Engineering) (Perfect Paperback)
I used this text for my structures class as an undergraduate. The text is really good, but it lacks examples and depth. I found the problems for each chapter very difficult. I strongly suggest using this text with supporting texts.
