Thermal Stress Resistance of Engineering Ceramics, by D. P. H. Hasselman. This book is not a textbook. It should, however, be read by undergraduates, graduates, research workers and engineers in the field of Materials Science and Engineering, Ceramics and Metallurgy. I am convinced that this book will stimulate further research and development in the field of ceramics.

In the fall of 1987, the members of the Department

of Materials Science and Engineering

at McMaster organised a Symposium on Advances in Phase Transitions in honour of their distinguished colleague John Samuel Kirkaldy, as part of McMaster University’s Centennial celebrations. In the past three decades, Jack Kirkaldy has contributed

much to both the basic understanding

of diffusive transport and phase transitions, and to the application of this understanding and optimisation

of phase transitions in the heat treatment

to the control

of steel and other areas of technological

import. The program attempted speakers of international of theoretical

to cover a broad range of fundamental issues and attracted a number of

repute. The present volume records the presentations

and experimental

and indicates the range

approaches which have been developed in the area of phase transfor-

mations will continue to play a central role in the understanding

and control of the structures of ad-

vanced materials.
