 An excellent reference book for undergrads in Mat Sci Dec 08, 1999
This book is an excellent introduction to Ceramics. But, as an added bonus, it also comprehensively covers most of the topics in the Materials Science undergradute curriculum making it an excellent reference book.

The Ceramics Bible Jul 28, 2003
By Dennis
This is a tour-de-force textbook that covers the fundamental science behind ceramics and glass. And to the extent that the same energy equations (for kinetics, thermodynamics, stress and strain, defects, light transmission, grain boundaries, etc) apply to other inorganic materials, this book is an understandable reference for them too. It was the bible at MIT for Ceramics Mat Sci BS and MS students. Well indexed, a usable teaching and reference book.

The ceramics "Bible" -- An excellent treatment of the subject Jun 05, 2008
By Steven
This is an incredibly detailed, long and well-written text on ceramics that all materials scientists should read. Kingery covers all the basic aspects of ceramics, from structure to defects, thermodynamics to phase transformations. He then covers in depth each property, including heat transfer, diffusivity, magnetic, electrical, optical, mechanical properties, and much more. The text also discusses processing techniques and the chemistry behind the design of the materials. This is a fantastic and thorough text well worth the investment.
