Set up as a catalogue, it is well organized, stylish, and it has information on potential applications, a few specs, and most importantly, supplier contact information.</p> <p>This book would be tremendously useful for a manufacturer, anyone in construction or architecture, or the arts. Product developers will also likely find inspiration here.</p> <p>However this is a good book even for the idly curious - it's a great survey of the state of the art in materials science. And if you like to tinker and build in your garage, workshop or basement, this is a great resource for getting your hands on some of the coolest new stuff.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ponderfodder.com/fascinating-treasure-trove-new-materials">read more</a></p> http://www.ponderfodder.com/fascinating-treasure-trove-new-materials#comment architecture arts building construction materials science Reviews Fri, 14 Jul 2006 11:04:10 -0400 Zinger 169 at http://www.ponderfodder.com http://www.ponderfodder.com/node/114 <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-5"><div class="flexinode-textarea-6"><div class="form-item"> <label>Description: </label> <p>The Energy Savings Trust has a great mini-site on ways to save yourself energy and money.
