The Materials Sourcebook for Design Professionals
The Materials Sourcebook is an indispensable reference for design professionals on selecting and using materials in new ways to make their designs ever more efficient and effective. This book is organized into six main sections on all the major design material groups: Metal, Plastic, Wood, Plant, Animal, and Mineral. Each section is broken down into chapters examining individual types of material within each larger group. Nearly one hundred material types are featured, each one supported by examples of how it can be used in a variety of industries, an outline of its most desirable properties, and details about its form and texture.
