"This handbook will answer most questions for the newly exposed and inexperienced user of ceramics as well as for the designer, ceramist, and materials and process engineer, who can then approach the use of ceramics in an appropriate way and will be in a better position to negotiate from a basis of some understanding and background knowledge" -- Ceramic Abstracts, Vol. 72, No. 9-10, 1993
