The relationships among processing, structure, properties, and performance components for steels, glass-ceramics, polymer fibers, and silicon semiconductors are explored throughout the chapters. The discussion of the construction of crystallographic directions in hexagonal unit cells is expanded. At the end of each chapter, engineers will also find revised summaries and new equation summaries to reexamine key concepts. Review: Great textbook! - This is a great textbook. It's well written and easy to follow and understand. My teacher isn't very good, but I'm totally learning the material from reading the book. A lot of the time, I feel confused during the lectures, but then when I read the chapter, everything really comes together. I actually enjoy reading the book. Very interesting and informative! Review: The Definitive MatSci Textbook - When I was finishing my MatSci undergrad degree, one of my T.A.s was taking his orals for a Ph.D. He passed handily. When asked how he prepared, he said that he studied Callister until he understood *everything*. That about says it all, suitable as an intro text for sophomores, and suitable as an advanced text for grad students. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,140,960 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #775 in Chemical Engineering (Books) #1,013 in Materials Science (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 146 Reviews | ## Images ![Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 8th Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Ox3Wkwt5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great textbook! *by M***S on October 24, 2011* This is a great textbook. It's well written and easy to follow and understand. My teacher isn't very good, but I'm totally learning the material from reading the book. A lot of the time, I feel confused during the lectures, but then when I read the chapter, everything really comes together. I actually enjoy reading the book. Very interesting and informative! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Definitive MatSci Textbook *by T***3 on November 16, 2015* When I was finishing my MatSci undergrad degree, one of my T.A.s was taking his orals for a Ph.D. He passed handily. When asked how he prepared, he said that he studied Callister until he understood *everything*. That about says it all, suitable as an intro text for sophomores, and suitable as an advanced text for grad students. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great at first glance *by T***A on January 6, 2014* The book is actually well designed and offers a wonderful coverage at an introductory level. However the rub lies in the material covered through the examinations provided through the text book company. The material technically is in the book, however much like some of the homework sets, the information is contained within captions and side notes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 8th Edition - The Paschal Mystery: Christ's Mission of Salvation (Living in Christ) - The Church: Christ in the World Today (Second Edition) Student Text (Living in Christ) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1610041-materials-science-and-engineering-an-introduction-8th-edition](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1610041-materials-science-and-engineering-an-introduction-8th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-25*
