A classic of materials science, this book describes the three classes of strong materials based on metals, ceramics, and fibrous composites and compares them with the highest conceivable strengths in terms of our knowledge of the binding forces between atoms. The authors discuss the properties of imperfections which detract from this strength and show how the properties of the three strong materials arise. This new third edition is revised, updated, and expanded, with a new chapter on strong glasses and ceramics. From reviews of the second edition:"Presents a comprehensive analysis of the state of the art concerning the science of strong materials."--Chemistry and Industry. "An excellent book, strongly recommended for those in materials research as well as in technical application."--Applied Physics

<p>This review of research in school choice adapts Sen's theory of Capability developing a more complex theoretical framework for understanding education markets. This gives those most affected by the perceived failure of public education a better explication of the tension between the rhetoric of public good and the reality of everyday disadvantage.</p>

Jonathan Swift and Popular Culture Myth, Media and the Man: Myth, Media, and the Man

<p>Ann Kelly's provocative book breaks the mold of Swift studies. Twentieth century Swift scholars have tended to assess Jonathan Swift as a pillar of the eighteenth-century 'republic of letter', a conservative, even reactionary voice upholding classical values against the welling tide of popularization in literature. Kelly looks at Swift instead as a practical exponent of the popular and impressario of the literary image. She argues that Swift turned his back on the elite to write for a popular audience, and that he annexed scandals to his fictionalized print alter ego, creating a continual demand for works by or about this self-mythologized figure. A fascinating look at print culture, the commodification of the author, and the history of popular culture, this book should provoke lots of discussion.</p>
