Opis

This is a very special book for two reasons. First, it is a tribute to Professor Sir Peter Hirsch. Second, it is a collection of specially written review articles by world-class scientists that take the readers from the origins of modem materials science through to the cutting edge of the subject in the twenty- first century.
