Reseña del editor

This monumental revision expands the original edition by some 4000 entries to include new fabrication, testing, and materials, vocabulary. Additionally, the author gives all measurements in SI units to facilitate communication among the many subdisciplines touched on by ceramics, ensuring that this will be the field's standard reference work for years to come.
