Editorial Reviews

"The book is aimed mainly at university students. . . many physicists and engineers who are involved in developing crystalline applications will find the book very useful. Many of the explanations are quite detailed." -L.J. Anthony, Newport, Gwent, UK "Terms are very clearly and precisely describes and defined. . . the value of the book can be wholeheartedly recommended to anybody who needs to know the lingo o the tribe of material scientists that is concerned with polycrystalline metallic materials." -Hans-George Elias, Michigan Molecular Institute "The book will be useful, not only to those studying, researching, or applying materials, but also to nontechnical readers such as managers, purchasing agents, and marketing specialists who have a need to understand materials terminology. Novikov's command of the English language in crafting the definitions of terms is impressive [T]he book is authoritative, clear, and more extensive than available on-line glossaries ." - MRS Bulletin, April 2004
