Critics Review
Review from previous edition A wonderful book … that does not take more than a couple of weeks to digest. Although students these days do not purchase many books, this particular text might be considered worth owning. * Harry Bhadeshia, University of Cambridge *
A unique book - there is nothing like this in materials science that combines biography and analysis of the importance of equations. * Mark Miodownik, University College London *
Engaging, effective and surprisingly readable… with an unflowery and straightforward style that pushes things along. * Patrick Grant, University of Oxford *
