This exceptionally readable reference offers current and cutting edge information on “materials.” —Knowledge that can simplify and make living more enjoyable for people who maintain households, and purchase such life necessities as automobiles and houses. It helps create informed and intelligent consumers who know how to care for and maintain the things they purchase, and maintain the only place we have to live, namely this earth—which is running out of its natural raw materials and is being polluted with the products of our technological world. Chapter topics include engineering materials technology; nature and family of materials; processing and structure of solid materials; and properties, degradation, failure, and selection of materials. These subjects cover metallic, polymeric, ceramic, and composite materials. For anyone who works and/or lives with materials.
