Acknowledgements
No book of this sort is possible without advice, constructive criticism and ideas from others. Numerous colleagues have been generous with their time and thoughts. We would particularly like to recognise the suggestions made by Professors Mick Brown, Archie Campbell, Dave Cardwell, Ken Wallace and Ken Johnson, all of Cambridge University, for their willingness to help. Equally valuable has been the contribution of the team at Granta Design, Cambridge, responsible for the development of the CES software that has been used to make the material property charts that are a feature of this book.
We gratefully acknowledge the following Materials, Second Edition advisory panel members, whose valuable insight regarding the teaching of introductory materials science and engineering and whose input throughout the development of the second edition helped to shape this text.
