Other Well Written Materials Science / Engineering Books?

[SphericalCow]

I would love to find a materials book that is comparable to Taylor's Classical Mechanics.

Taylor's book is well written with good problem sets, and it's designed for undergraduates. I also like that it burrows into one subject for 300 pages instead of being a general textbook with 2000 pages.

But a textbook on "materials science and engineering" would inherently cover a range of subjects, more comparable to, e.g., Halliday and Resnick (or whatever it's called these days) for physics, not Taylor's Classical Mechanics. For in-depth treatment of individual subjects, you would need specialized individual texts on, e.g., crystallography, chemical thermodynamics, phase transformations, mechanical properties of materials, optical properties of materials, ....

Tried to keep the page length down

Haasen Physical Metallurgy
Jaeger Elasticity, Fracture and Flow (warning the notation is dated)
Gould Introduction to Linear Elasticity
Hull and Bacon Introduction to Dislocations
Hutchings Tribology

Yes, this is exactly what I want. Thank you!
