The Physics and Chemistry of Materials

Rating:
Summary: A great resource
Review: I am a graduate student studying in the field of nanomaterials. I picked up this book upon advice from a professor and i've thumbed through it's pages on numerous occasions on which i've found exactly what I was looking for. I would not pick this book up if you're interested in problem sets, though. There are only a handful at the end of the chapter and some of them are extremely hard.

Rating:
Summary: Great Book that combines a lot of information
Review: I thought this book was great. It combines a lot of information from "undergraduate" textbooks on material science and mechanics then adds stuff that I would consider as graduate level material. This is a good book to have around that has a wide range of information in it.

Summary: Textbook
Review: Not great, not written to teach, but with chunks of info stuck together. Way to many equations for anyone to use, but good discussion, diagrams and tables. May be better for theoretical/computational course than extending the basics of material science. I'll still learn a lot and have a good reference book, but there are better books out there.
