J. E. Gordons classic introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering answers some fascinating and fundamental questions about how the structural world around us works. Gordon focuses on socalled strong materialssuch as metals, wood, ceramics, glass, and boneexplaining in engaging and accessible terms the unique physical and chemical basis for their inherent structural qualities. He also shows how an indepth understanding of these materials intrinsic strengthsand weaknessesguides our engineering choices, allowing us to build the structures that support our society. This work is an enduring example of firstrate scientific communication. Philip Balls introduction describes Gordons career and the impact of his innovations in materials research, while also discussing how the field has evolved since Gordon wrote this enduring example of firstrate scientific communication.

I picked up this book thinking it would be easy to understand, but I found it hard to follow. 'The New Science of Strong Materials' is filled with jargon that just went over my head. I thought it would explain things better for someone without a strong background in science. Disappointed!

Not what I expected
I was hoping for a lighter read, but 'The New Science of Strong Materials' is quite technical. It’s really in-depth, which is great if you’re into science, but I struggled with some of the concepts. It’s useful for my studies in material science, yet I wish the writing was a bit more accessible.

Great insights into materials science!
This book, 'The New Science of Strong Materials', is a fascinating dive into why things are built the way they are. I bought it for my engineering class, and my professor even mentioned it during a lecture! The explanations are clear and the examples are really interesting. Definitely a must-read for anyone curious about structural engineering.
