About this title

Synopsis:

Callister and Rethwisch s Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering  third edition continues to take the integrated approach to the organization of topics.  That is, one specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types viz. metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials.  This order of presentation allows for the early introduction of non–metals and supports the engineer s role in choosing materials based upon their characteristics.

Review:

Callister "Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Interactive Text" wins Textbook Excellence Award

SAN ANTONIO, June 9, 2001 ? The Text and Academic Authors Association awarded "Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering: An Interactive Text", by William D. Callister, Jr., the 2001 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty) during the association's awards banquet. The book is published by John Wiley & Sons. Among judges' comments: "This book appears to be much better than the text I used in college. The figures are nicely done, and a second color is used effectively. The text is clearly written and well-designed.
A superior textbook on materials. Many outstanding illustrations. The inclusion of ceramics and polymers is a plus for modern engineers."
