Modern Ceramic Engineering February 15, 2008
This book is definetely one of the best in Ceramic Science and Engineering. It serves the very best the interest of students, academics and profecionals from a vast variety of disciplines who is working or starts working or somehow has an interest with ceramic materials. It initiates with the very basics from atomic bonding and crystalline structures, and then proceeds with processing, materials properties and performances, service life predictions, and failure analysis and mechanisms in an interconnected manner. The language is simple to follow, and the case studies are very well selected to fully understand the applications of each individual matters examined in the respective chapters.

Richerson knows a lot about ceramics February 9, 2007
This is a pretty good introductory book to Ceramics. There are a few typos in this 3rd edition book, but that doesn't distract from the main flow of it all. There are Review questions at the end of each chapter which are supposed to help one think about what s/he just read. Sometimes, the answer doesn't really come until the next chapter, though. The Author has a good voice in his writing--it's not totally technical jargon. So overall, good book.

Best among currently available Ceramic Engineering Textbooks December 1, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am offering my comments in my capacity as a course instructor. The reason why I recommend this book to my students is because it gives an excellent understanding of industrial applications of ceramic materials. The author has done a great job putting together his industrial experience. Most of the textbooks are written by university professors, who are sometimes ignorant about the industrial practices. This is more true in the rapidly changing field of materials science and engineering in general, and ceramics in particular. After having gone through all the ceramics related books that are currently available in the market, I feel Modern Ceramic Engineering (Materials Engineering) by David Richerson is the best option as a ceramic engineering textbook. The only drawback of this book is that it lacks smooth flow of ideas. Author could generate more interest among the readers by providing more schematics and by avoiding the paragraphs with cluttered information.
