Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews: "It is good to have a single book cover essentially all relevant topics in the ceramics field. ... There is a list of references and additional reading at chapter ends; one wishes that these references had been grouped according to subtopics in the chapters. Special citation index for some figures and tables in a glossary. Summing Up: Recommended. General readers; lower-division undergraduates through graduate students; professionals; two-year technical program students." (H. Giesche, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (2), 2007) Read more...
