Created an account at librarything.com (stated on top) and I am astounded by the amount of metals, different materials, its properties, etc. books that has been published.

Handbook of Non-Ferrous Metal Powders: Technologies and Applications

This book is roughly about the manufacture and use of the powders of non-ferrous metals has been taking place for many years in what was previously Soviet Russia. Although accounts of the topic have been published in the Russian language, no English language account has existed until now.
It also covers the classification, manufacturing methods, treatment and properties of the non-ferrous metals ( aluminium, titanium, magnesium, copper, nickel, cobalt, zinc, cadmium, lead, tin, bismuth, noble metals and earth metals).

Polymer Products:Design, Materials and Processing

Platinum: The metal, its properties & applications

Metals and Materials: Science, Processes, Applications

This is a comprehensive account of the science of materials, ranging in its coverage from pure elements to superalloys, from glasses to engineering ceramics.

Numerous examples are given of the ways in which knowledge of the relation between fine structure and properties and the authors have tried to make the subject accessible to a wide range of readers.

Materials and Design, Second Edition: The Art and Science of Material Selection in Product Design

I find this book interesting and intriguing, this book proves a valuable resource for those starting out in design or engineering

So altogether I had congregated 5 books and gave a summary of my view towards the books which I find is utmost intriguing and educational.

Judging from the book title. It gives us a definite picture that we are going to read about different types of materials, its properties, applications, processes and the uses.

Books like this will indubitably help us in our future lives, and even gives us additional information on specific topics in our modules.

For example, we learnt that Non-Ferrous metals are metals that contain no iron or a small amount of alloying iron, such as alloys of aluminium, copper, magesium, nickel etc.
So with this book, we get to learn about more in-depth information. By reading it, it widens our circle of knowledge.

Published date for these books can even be published way back in the 1979s! To latest ones which is published in 2009.

In general, doing up, creating this blog and updating about educational facts made me realize the different perspectives on how students gain knowledge.
