Review title: Tedious
Product review: I used this text for a materials graduate class and found it to be one of the most tedious texts that I have used to date during my undergraduate or graduate education. While apparently comprehensive relative to the subject, the material is not well organized and, at times, has a stream of consciousness flavor to it. It drones on and on with qualitative comments intermingled with quantitative; the graphics are one-dimensional and exclusively black and white. The whole text has a very dated feel, which may be reflective of its 1995 copyright. In general, I found this text to be difficult to read for any length of time. Conversely, I have been exposed to other texts that engage the reader and pique your curiosity to go further. Reed doesn't do that, in fact, I found myself becoming less interested in ceramics than before I began the class!If you are using it for a class, there is not much you can do, but if you have a choice, this isn't the ceramics text to chose.
