Frontiers in Materials Science Vol 2: Distinguished Lectures

Abstract

Lawrence E Murr and Charles Stein (eds) New York: Marcel Dekker 1916 pp xvii + 590 price SFr 165 This is an interesting book with a misleading title (perhaps Some Frontiers... might be better, but even then some of the areas covered are not all that frontier-like). The 'distinguished lecturers' seem to have tried varied treatments, from broadly descriptive (e.g. 'Glasses and their applications') to detailed analysis of a specialized field (e.g. 'Influence of recovery on the tensile behaviour of highly strained iron alloys').
