Introduction to the Thermodynamics of Materials
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 2.62/5 from 8 reviews His other thermo books are bad, so is this oneLike others have said before me, thermodynamics is hard enough without Gaskell's weak attempts to make it even harder. He has the ability to make the difficult the uncomprehendable. I wouldn't use any of his books if they were given to me. This is a new editionFirst, who is Robert R. Rice? As I understand it, Dr. Gaskell, wrote the book himself - Robert Rice is a non-entity. Second, all of the reviews for this edition ( the fourth) refer to the third edition. All of the errors found in the third edition have been corrected in the fourth edition. best materials thermo book available....Gaskell is a critical component to the library of any Materials Scientist. Study it once, study it twice, and then pull it off the shelf often during your professional career. A solid professor can highlight the most critical components of the text. | ||||||||||||||||||
