This is the book which inspired me a lot as a professsional designer in various domains. Design needs material selection and much exploration of materials to match design. The words from the book i read " Innovative design is the imaginative exploitation of materials..." this is the perfect match to which as designer should look. What ever may be the field , materials are infront of the gate which welcome the true essence of the industry to multiply the boundaries and innovation to reach possiblilities of requested content of design reqirement. Every designers first step is to know about materials first design next.All the starters , beginners and all the group of professional bodies should keep this book as a reference for every inch of their design.
Hope you will do.

This is the worst book which I read my life. No proper explanation with examples and no connectivity among the topics.
