'I enjoyed reading this very straightforward book. Its great strength is as a complete resource that will be invaluable for those studying and teaching courses on surface engineering at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level in universities, as well as materials scientists and mechanical engineers in government research establishments and industrial research environments.' Kevin M. Knowles, University of Cambridge 'Within ... Read morethe vast diverse literature of surface engineering this single authored work brings together all the many facets of the subject to provide a deep understanding of how the discipline can be implemented to enhance the performance of materials subjected to the most demanding conditions of stress, fatigue, wear, friction and corrosion.'
