I agree, the binding is very nice
However this edition is full of ERRORS!An extremely frustrating book to try to learn out of.Did i do it incorrectly or is the equation printed there wrong or is the answere printed over there wrong, or maybe the question itself has a typo......who knows!My professor for this class was familiar with the first edition, but agreed to go with the second edition after we (the class) found it for $4 on here, then he had to go through and correct all the mistakes for us.

A good book on Polymer Chemistry
I used this book in conjunction with my Physical Chemistry book when we had a section on macromolecules. The coverage of material I needed for my class was applicable, readable, and spelled out in a way that made it easy for me to understand the subject matter. I have also read through the book outside of my Physical Chemistry class, and I believe it is on the more readable side. The text has a good supply of worked out examples in the text, but sometimes falls short on practice problems. Most of my experience with this book comes from using it in conjuction with other books - this book really shines at its explanation of the subject matter.

The best part about this book is its beautiful binding.
This book does a very poor job of teaching polymer chemistry.Coverage of most topics is too brief and includes too many mistakes.However, the book is organized in an interesting way, and topics that aren't included in mostpolymer chemistry books are mentioned briefly -- for example interestingpolymer properties such as flame retardancy.In this sense, the book mightget students excited about polymer science. ...

Reference guide for joining of plastics
Joining of Plastics authored by Jordan Rotheiser and published by Hanser Gardner Publications, is an outstanding handbook covering everything from Adhesive joining to Welding of plastic components. (Note that there are no joining techniques starting with letter Z!) The author draws upon more than thirty-five years of plastics product design experience to present this encyclopedic coverage of joining techniques most commonly used in the plastics industry. This book not only offers a detailed guide to a novice reader in easy-to-read format, but also a complete reference manual for the experienced designer who occasionally encounters a new or unusual problem.Read more

Super Intro!!!
This book is very straightforward reading with nice intuitive ways of thinking about polymer behavior.I used it during an intro grad school class and still refer back to it first when I'm thinking about polymers.It has just the right mixture of explanation and equation for anyone with a background in Calculus and a little bit of experience with statistical mechanics (really... just a little bit).A great book. ...

Excellent book for beginners and pros
This is an excellent book. Very well written and with very explicit examples for a beginner or a pro.
Strength of Materials
I found the book to be very useful in that it summarizes my class textbook and offers many worked out example problems. I have since purchased Schaum's for my other classes and I find them equally useful

Well written book
I have already finished courses in strength of materials etc., and am using this book as a reference, instead of those voluminous handbooks. The book is very well written and William Nash has an excellent, straightforward way of putting forth the key points. The book has all theinformation you might need for a first course in strength of materials. Ialso use this book in conjunction with a finite element text to give me thetheoretical values for comparison. In summary, if you need a solid backupfor your textbook and a useful reference, you won't go wrong with this one. ... Read more

A treasure!
Viscoelastic properties of polymers includes a very detailed description of polymer rheology, covering both the mechanical aspects of rheometers, as well as the description of molecular basis of viscoelasticity. The book is highly recommended to everyone embarking on a career in polymer viscoelasticity. Ferry has essentially compiled all the important material relevant to polymer viscoelasticity, and hence the chapters serve as excellent reviews of respective fields. Since the last edition is well over 20 years old, many recent aspects of viscoelaticity are not present in the book (quite understandable:))! Nevertheless, this book is a must have to delve into viscoelaticity, the knowledge and its evolution. ... Read more
