The authors of Glass-Ceramic Technology make an informative contribution to those who want to know more about new glass-ceramic materials and their scientific/technological background or who want to use these materials and benefit from them. A good book for students, scientists, engineers and technicians which also serves as a reference for all those interested in natural or medical science and technology, with special emphasis on glass-ceramics as new materials with new properties. The first three chapters, "Principles of Designing Glass-Ceramic Formation," "Composition Systems for Glass-Ceramics" and "Microstructural Control," satisfy the requirements of a scientific-technological textbook.
