Summary: I have the THIRD EDITION
Comment: I bought a second hand copy of the third edition, so I can't comment on the new online chapters that appear to be the main criticism of the book. What I can say is that the quality of the existing chapters is impressive. The material was suitable to entirely teach myself the syllabus of a second year undergraduate module in materials science as part of my mechanical engineering degree, whilst being refreshingly concise.

Summary: Excelent book, but online nightmare
Comment: This book is a must have for anyone who is studying engineering. I have found it an invaluable source information as my lecturer in the subject is often confusing and the notes poor. I do have to agree sadly though with a past reviewer about the online portion. I registered online then didn't receive an email so now I am unable to access any of the online content. For this I am giving the book a 3, if only they could fix the web portion this book would be an easy 5.

Summary: Students worst nightmare
Comment: The parts of the book they give you are fine, but the publisher is greedy at the students expense. First off, the last five chapters are NOT included in the text! You have to go 'online' to get them. I bought a new copy with the access code, there is no longer any CD that comes with it, it is all 'online'. I use quotes b/c 'online' means registering your info with the publisher and then being allowed to get the material. I did this and had to carefully avoid checking all the right boxes to avoid spamming, which still didn't stop it. But after all that is done, they send you a confirmation email, an email I didn't get. Gmail might rightfully trash this companies emails. The result is denial of trying to register a second time with the same code, and nullification of that code if you don't authenticate within a week. So now I don't have access to any of the material and have to pay for the price of the book again to get a new access code. My other choice is to fail the quizzes!
If you are a student, don't buy this book for reference, as it is incomplete, and the website will probably only function until the next edition comes out. You can't buy it used as you have to pay for the access anyway.
Professors who are interested, please do your students a favor and stay away from this book. If you like the way it works, look into using the sixth edition, as I am pretty sure it has every chapter in it even if it is slightly outdated and it is still sold on Amazon. Your students can also buy a used copy. Even if they buy a new copy, they don't risk being sucked dry from this greedy publisher.

Summary: Brilliant, just BRILLIANT!!!
Comment: I cannot fault this text book in any way possible! It is just perfect!! Every day after leaving my Chemical Engineering lecture, i would review what was taught by reading the text book, and i just cannot emphasise enough how much it engraved all the essential concepts in my brain!! I wish i could give it more than 5 stars!!
