Summary:
Modern technology depends on materials that nature can't make but humans can. Materials Science and its practical cousin, Materials Engineering, may be the Rodney Dangerfield of technology -- they do not receive the respect they so richly deserve. After reading this book, you'll never look at the materials around you in the same way.
