Mechanical Properties of ceramics:A student's perspective
Mechanical Properties of Ceramics was the textbook used in my graduate Ceramics Engineering Class.I felt that the book was rather lacking in many respects.Very often, formulas occured without any explanation oftheir origin or any sort of derivations.Additionally, a few of thederivations that were presented were wrong.Read more

Mostly a waste of money
The intention of this book is to provide a description of crystal structures for materials used in materials science and engineering and to emphasize relationships between structures and physical properties and toprepare the reader with the tools to design new materials with improvedproperties.The book is divided into 4 chapters covering the fundamentalsof atoms and molecules, the fundamentals of crystallography, crystalstructures, and structural changes of crystals.The intended audienceconsists of engineers and scientists who work on materials development. Chemists, physicists, and geologists may find useful material indescriptive crystallography and crystal structures, but no attempt has beenmade to cover other topics (e.g., synthetic chemistry, phase diagrams,nucleation kinetics, magnetic properties, etc.) that would be found in asolid state chemistry text.Read more

This book doesn't blow
I recently decided to try my hand at making a blown glass product without ever having picked up a blow-pipe. I found this book in a library, took it home and just tore through the book. I found that it was quite easy to read, very coherent and a logical breakdown of this complicated art form. She wrote it from a collectors point of view which enabled her to combine in a very readable way, the history and current tecniques of bottle making. The book was riddled with black and white pictures, taken of workers in a glass shop in Mexico. The book was filled with the following information:

An ok book
This book is okay.It is a detailed look into glass science-good for finding specifics about glass without having to search through the journals.But, readers be wary, there are many mistakes amongst these pages.Pay particular caution to derivations and figures-I've had to correct many mistakes the author himself pointed out during lectures.My suggestion for getting the most of the book is to read James Shelby's "Introduction to Glass Science," first for a solid understanding, then delve into the same topic in "Fundamentals of Inorganic Glasses." If this is for class good luck!

Excellent Source for Glass Knowledge
This book is an excellent source for anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of inorganic glass.Varshneya takes the time to explain the fundamentals in the beginning chapters, then gives the reader the specific scientific explanations necessary to get a good understanding of glass and glass formation.The explanations are not confusing, and the problems at the end of each of the chapters are a good reinforcement of the concepts.If you are at all interested in glass forming, this book is good place to start. ...

A very detailed and comprehensive book
This book is covering nearly every aspect about optics making: Grinding, polishing: techniques, used materials. Machines: How they work. Measuring: detailed explanation of the measuring techniques for lens and prism making. Anyone who want to make his own optics, usually telescoop builders, will find everything he need to know. Not much a theoretical book - there are many - but a very practical book. Although the book was first published in 1942 most of the techniques are still the same today. Read more
