This is a great text to understand the fundamentals of the science of materials. Although, the engineering of materials sections are somewhat lacking. I recommend mechanics of materials to understand the engineering aspect of materials. Well organized and easy to read. As a college student, I wish the chapters where shorter.
Item was as described. It came with access code for online assignments.

This is a great book! The price is awesome. Images, as the whole book, are in gray scale, that can cause problems because sometimes color is necessary. Other than that, everything is ok.
It uses concepts discussed in my materials engineering class. The book incorporates chemistry and engineering in one book. The definitions at the back of the book are more informative than the definitions throughout the book.
I orderd the Materials science and Engineering : An Introduction(6th). But I got a 8th edition textbook. Since this book is similar the 6th, I will use that. However if I knew the 8th, I didn't buy it.
