CRC Press, a US-based publisher of technical and scientific works and a member of Taylor & Francis Group, has announced the publication of the Second Edition of Physical Properties of Materials by Professor Mary Anne White and a companion website that complements the book (www.physicalpropertiesofmaterials.com). This content-rich resource for students and professors includes sample syllabus, homework problems, weblinks, and videos. It supplies everything professors and students need to transcend the book and enhance their teaching and learning experiences.
The fully revised and updated second edition presents a discussion of materials sustainability, a description of crystalline structures, and discussion of current and recent developments, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanocomposites, magnetocaloric effect, and spintronics. Unique tutorials allow students to apply the principles to understand applications, such as photocopying, magnetic devices, fiber optics, and more.
In addition to cutting edge content and features, the textbook is available as an eBook in electronic format. This flexible platform offers rental or purchase options, ability to share notes, and three ways to access the information - by download, online, or on a mobile device.
Professors can use the companion website to augment their syllabus and add value to their classroom lectures and homework assignments. Students can see the concepts in action with videos and supplemental materials that strengthen the learning experience and prepare for tests with the 300 end-of-chapter problems – 60 more than were in the previous edition. Based on professor and student feedback, this web resource will be updated with new material.
The site is accessible to all and the instructor area is password protected.
