Reviews
ZEITSCHRIFT FUR KRISTALLOGRAPHIE
"...not just for reading and reference, but exists to stimulate thought and provoke discussion as well."
ULTRAMICROSCOPY
"Another good read is The Coming of Materials Science by R.W. Cahn..."
AMBIX, S. Mossman, Science Museum, London
'...an immensely valuable source of information about a science which has now reached maturity.'
PHYSICS TODAY, D.A. Weitz, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts
'...a lively and interesting read...The Coming of Materials Science provides an engaging account of the field's evolution, and for that, is well worth reading.'
JOM, A. Uguz, Uludag University
'As A. Cottrell says on the back of this book, this book is really a masterpiece by Cahn, who has been the Pergamon Materials Series editor
and an important name in the history of materials science and engineering. Thank you for writing this book!'
NOTES AND RECORDS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON, D.Hull FRS FREng
'Robert Cahn's monumental work, The coming of materials science, is the product of a lifetime's involovement in the science of materials...The
breadth of the subject treated in this book is exceptional including, as it does, detailed accounts of the scientists and their creations
across a very wide field of materials-metals, polymers and ceramics...The emphasis is on describing the development of high-quality original,
trail-blazing, research...'
CERAMICS-SILIKATY, W. Pabst
Reading this book is exciting mainly for the personal view it conveys, since Cahn, apart from being doubtlessly one of the main figures
and propagators of MSE, and being well known as a distinguished researcher in the field of physical mettallurgy, came to know most of
the other 20th protagonists of MSE personally. As such, this book must be considered as an important primary source for 20th century
science history. But I would fully agree with the back cover advertisement that this book is not just for reading and reference, but
exists to stimulate thought and provoke discussion.
PHYSICS OF THE EARTH AND PLANETARY INTERIORS, Jean-Paul Poirier
This remarkable book should be read by all who use material science, whether to design better alloys and ceramics or to understand the workings of the Earth and planets.
