review of Ceramics : Mechanical Properties, Failure...
This book was exactly what I was looking for.I needed a clear, concise book on ceramic materials and material properties.The one thing I would suggest for improvement is to include a section on designing with ceramic materials, things like shrinkage factors and material specific rules ofthumb. ...

Barsoum's text
Barsoum's text, "Fundamentals of Ceramics", is the best theoretical treatment of materials science that I am familiar with. He provides in-depth coverage of many mat-sci principles and derivations, from the elementary to the advanced. Caveat emptor, however, as there are also many mistakes in this book. Barsoum would do a great service to the mat-sci community by updating this text and publishing a new edition that corrects the mistakes and provides a more thorough explanation of experimental principles to compliment his theoretical information.

Excellent broad based intro text
This text is very clearly written, and an absolute must as a reference for the fundamentals of ceramics.The text ties basic priciples of physics to the structure and behavior of ceramics.The text is ideal for late undergrad, early graduate studies - and is also perfect for scientists and engineers without a background in Materials Engineering *because* it draws on basic physics to clearly cover the topic.Especially useful are the numerous examples within the chapters to highlight important ideas, and the last six chapters - which give important infrmation on electrical, optical, and mechanical properties of ceramics.

No Books in the Field Compare
Dr. Barsoum has covered all the bases in this well thought out and beautifully organized book! The author makes the field of ceramics interesting even to people new to the field. This book was used in a courseI took, and I will not sell it because it is such an authoritativereference source. There are no other books that compare to Fundamentals ofCeramics. ... Read more

Very disappointing
This fourth book by the author is very disappointing.Is a re-hash of the older books with no new jars featured.The newer manufacturers are completely ignored.The jars featured in this book have already been featured in the other 3 books.Price valuesseem low and anemic. ... Read more
