## Description

desertcart.com: Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction, 8th Edition: 9780470419977: William D. Callister Jr., David G. Rethwisch: Books

Review: Love this book - I sold my newer edition and got an older edition (costs less money). This book has great detail and great at explaining things. I am a materials engineer and this is by far my most referenced book for a jumping off point. If you are unclear about something, I would start with this book and it will provide general details. After that, you can use resources that are more focused on a certain subject. I use it to refresh on basic ideas all of the time. This book provides such a strong foundation you would be crazy not to have it on your book shelf for reference if you do anything really materials oriented.
Review: The Definitive MatSci Textbook - When I was finishing my MatSci undergrad degree, one of my T.A.s was taking his orals for a Ph.D. He passed handily. When asked how he prepared, he said that he studied Callister until he understood *everything*. That about says it all, suitable as an intro text for sophomores, and suitable as an advanced text for grad students.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Definitive MatSci Textbook
*by T***3 on November 16, 2015*

When I was finishing my MatSci undergrad degree, one of my T.A.s was taking his orals for a Ph.D. He passed handily. When asked how he prepared, he said that he studied Callister until he understood *everything*. That about says it all, suitable as an intro text for sophomores, and suitable as an advanced text for grad students.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great at first glance
*by T***A on January 6, 2014*

The book is actually well designed and offers a wonderful coverage at an introductory level. However the rub lies in the material covered through the examinations provided through the text book company. The material technically is in the book, however much like some of the homework sets, the information is contained within captions and side notes.
