J. E. Gordon's classic introduction to the properties of materials
used in engineering answers some fascinating and fundamental
questions about how the structural world around us works. Gordon
focuses on so-called strong materials--such as metals, wood,
ceramics, glass, and bone--explaining in engaging and accessible
terms the unique physical and chemical basis for their inherent
structural qualities. He also shows how an in-depth understanding
of these materials' intrinsic strengths--and weaknesses--guides our
engineering choices, allowing us to build the structures that
support our society. This work is an enduring example of first-rate
scientific communication. Philip Ball's introduction describes
Gordon's career and the impact of his innovations in materials
research, while also discussing how the field has evolved since
Gordon wrote this enduring example of first-rate scientific
communication.
