Review: Good - This one I like
Review: Covers all the Material you need - This book covers everything you'll want to know for the foundation of material science and engineering. Great book that explains the concepts well and efficiently. I've gone to this book several times for covering topics I didn't cover in class, and the book did a great job of catching me up. I even used this for other classes like Fluid Mechanics or Heat Transfer. It's got it all. The example problems, while sometimes basic, provided you a great way to know if you understand the (wait for it....) material!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It served it's purpose
*by I***W on October 21, 2019*

I needed a cheap textbook for my materials class. And I got it. Depending on your professor, it will depend on how much you use it; personally, this is one of the few textbooks that I have used for homework and studying for tests. It was surprisingly useful. My only complaint is that the binding has been falling apart since I got the book in Agust, so I need to be very careful with the book.
