Product Description
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.

What can I say? This is a good book. It was $50 cheaper than the bookstore at the University of Utah.

Got exactly what I wanted quickly and it was just as stated. excellent overall
 Covers a lot of material, maybe too much May 5, 2010

This book covers tons of material. It was part of 2 classes I took, and I've referred to it in several others. It has content on almost everything that will be covered in an undergraduate materials science program, then a little bit more. The amount of coverage it gives for each topic though varies quite a bit. I found its discussion on the various microstructures of steel very useful on multiple occasions. The section on fracture though left a little bit to be desired, the section discussing brittle fracture is only about half a page. It tries to condense what would probably be 3 or 4 whole chapters in a mechanical properties textbook (on fracture, fatigue, creep, impact testing, stress concentration) into a single 50 page chapter. Overall though, I found it to be a good intro textbook and a good reference for concepts.
 No soo good not soo bad October 12, 2007

Well i am a chemical engineer student and this book form part of many of my other long and complicated books. Anyway the book its not the best I've read, altough i have to say that I read worst. So overall is a decent book.
It does explain the material fairly, but what it has in theory it lacks in good exercises. The problems are hard to solve. They are not similar to the example problems therefore it is almost impossible to solve the homework. In my class we posses the solution manual and even with the solutions it is very hard to understand. Basically the theory they cover does always help to solve the exercises.
I recommend this book if you only seek to know more about the subjects since it explains the molecule interactions in detail and has good pictures that help visualize the material. But it is not a good introductory book

This book is kind of vague, especially the questions. The information is good and the cd is helpful sometimes.
