Intriguing discovery of the properties of Glass-Ceramic Technology.
On the surface, this is just a text to help people in the industry or that intend to be in the industry to keep up with the latest technology.
I found the introductions and history more fascinating. Then to see what can be created and applied is more than just a technical field.
I find myself saying I did not know you can do that. The book with all its pictures and graphs will keep you interested but there is not enough to do anything practical. It is just an overview of the possible. When you are finished you can hold a conversation with people in the field yet again you would need to cover many of the references in the back of the book to start any practical applications.
It is interesting the only color plates in the book are of Glass-Ceramic for Dental Restoration. But do not think it is all about something you can sink your teeth into. The book also covers architectural applications.
So for people that have no intention of turning this field into a vocation or avocation, the book is worth adding to your general knowledge of hour our modern world works
