"...the author has done an outstanding effort tin collecting
the vast information on materials and presenting it in a readable
form." (Materials and Manufacturing Process, January 2007)

"Mitchell's book has achieved a new level and range of
information and deserves serious consideration as a backing text
for undergraduate MSE courses..." (MRS Bulletin, March
2005)

"...this book offers a solid foundation in materials
engineering and science." (Chemical Engineering
Progress, October 2004)

"...corrosion professionals are most likely to benefit from
this book if they need descriptions of the characteristics of
materials with which they are not already familiar."
(Corrosion, October 2004)

"...I heartily recommend this book, primarily because of the
unified presentation of topics across the materials classes. All of
the important topics in an introductory materials science class are
presented well, and covered by problems." (AICHe Journal,
October 2004)

"...the first of what will be a new generation of
introductory texts that treat all classes of materials...will
appeal to students and instructors who desire a broader picture of
materials science and engineering than is available source: other
introductory texts..." (JOM, May 6, 2004)

"...very well written, illustrated, bound, and
presented...and excellent acquisition...highly
recommended..." (Choice, Vol. 41, No. 9, May 2004)

"Overall the text is a worthy addition to the extensive list of
MSE textbooks and should be examined as a potential required text
for introductory courses." (Journal of Materials Education,
2003)
