"…a good resource for researchers, scientists, and engineers…would also serve well as a text for graduate students…" (Materials and Manufacturing Processes, September/October 2006) "…a book like this is…refreshing because it allows an interested reader to take a casual stroll on the beach and collect shells--hopefully picking up a few that spark innovation." (The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, October 2006)
