I've been having this book for many years by now, probably over 10 years. However, the contents of the book relates truly to the title, "Foundations of Materials Science and Engineering." The information contained here in this book helps the reader to establish at least a basic, but not limited, knowledge in what the Materials Engineering is all about. Of course, there has been many more R&D and new materials processes developed in the materials engineering world since the 2nd edition of this book, but there are many things about materials in this book that will never change. The newer version contains an update with the latest in Research & Technology Development as well as new materials processes and treatment. I, myself just bought a copy of the newest version, 5th Edition, to stay tuned with the latest in Materials Engineering as I have a Master's degree in Materials Engineering. Also, is good to learn about materials because everything in this world is done using materials, without materials nothing get done, and sometimes you may wonder what materials are made out many of the households goods, surgical equipment, electronics, vehicles, and etc. The series of these books can help you understand it a little bit better.
