This fifth edition of a successful textbook continues to provide students with an introduction to the basic principles of materials science over a broad range of topics. The authors have revised and updated this edition to include many new applications and recently developed materials. The book is presented in three parts. The first section discusses the physics, chemistry, and internal structure of materials. The second part examines the mechanical properties of materials and their application in engineering situations. The final section presents the electromagnetic properties of materials and their application. Each chapter begins with an outline of the relevance of its topics and ends with problems that require an understanding of the theory and some reasoning ability to resolve. These are followed by self-assessment questions, which test students' understanding of the principles of materials science and are designed to quickly cover the subject area of the chapter. This edition of Materials Science for Engineers includes an expanded treatment of many materials, particulary polymers, foams, composites and functional materials. Of the latter, superconductors and magnetics have received greater coverage to account for the considerable development in these fields in recent years. New sections on liquid crystals, superalloys, and organic semiconductors have also been added to provide a comprehensive overview of the field of materials science.

Feelings of inferiority have plagued her since that night and try as she might, she can't get past it. Seeking to lift her self-esteem, she convinces Sean to go into a life he despises. But she would do anything to make herself feel desirable again. Yet, instead of finding her confidence in the bed of another man, she finds it in the unlikely friendship with a stranger she meets at the library. He compliments her, visits her every day, and gives her all of his attention. It's exactly what she needs. If only she knew just how obsessed with her he is. Josh and Melissa's relationship looks and feels like a fairytale. They move in together, and spend their days enjoying each other and spend their nights in each other's arms. When their work schedules no longer allow them time to fulfill each other's needs, the kink in the armor causes Melissa to doubt Josh's love and their future. It doesn't help that Agatha wants to break them up to heal her own wounds and to get back at Melissa. Is Agatha successful? Has Josh's affections turned from Melissa?
