About this book
Materials are the stuff of design. From the very beginning of human history, materials have been taken from the natural world and shaped, modified, and adapted for everything from primitive tools to modern electronics. This renowned book by noted materials engineering author Mike Ashby and Industrial designer, Kara Johnson, explores the role of materials and materials processing in product design, with a particular emphasis on creating both desired aesthetics and functionality. The new edition will feature even more of the highly useful "materials profiles," that give critical design, processing, performance and applications criteria for each material in question. The reader will find information ranging from the generic and commercial names of each material, its physical and mechanical properties, its chemical properties, its common uses, how it is typically made and processed, and even its average price. And with improved photographs and drawings, the reader will be taken even more closely to the way real design is done by real designers, selecting the optimum materials for a successful product. * The best guide ever published on the on the role of materials, past and present, in product development, by noted materials authority Mike Ashby and professional designer Kara Johnson--now with even better photos and drawings on the Design Process * Significant new section on the use of re-cycled materials in products, and the importance of sustainable design for manufactured goods and services * Enhanced materials profiles, with addition of new materials types like nanomaterials, advanced plastics and bio-based materials

    Would reccomend this bow to others.

    I bought his bow a few days ago and it arrived within two days!! It is a pernambuco bow and I can visibly hear a difference in the tone that it makes vs my Brazilian wood bow! This bow resonates more and has a very warm tone to it. My violin teacher also said the same when I show her the bow in our lesson and she played with it. She will be recommending this to her students and so do I. It a very good bow for its price, I dont' think you can find another pernambuco bow at this price. Most of them on the market are close to a hundred if not more. The bow was not warped and is in very good condition, brand new. This bow is lighter than my brazilian wood bow and I love the warmth of the tone it makes! 5/5 Tzu H. Hsiao (VA USA) - See all my reviews, July 18, 2010

    Definitely recommend!

    I ordered this bow for my son as a replacement, rather than having his current bow re-haired since the price was so reasonable. I have to say I am very impressed with the quality of this bow, in fact I am planning on ordering another as a back-up for myself! The weight feels balanced, and once rosined up, it produces a fine sound. I paid $300 for my current bow from a knowledgeable violinist (I am a 3-yr. adult violin student), and consider this bow comparable in every way. 5/5 Lisa K.

    Super deal on this bow! I'm not a musician and my son plays beginner level so I wasn't looking for something extraordinary. Cheap, plastic bows went for the same price at music stores.

    Horse Feathers

    Decided to try this bow after my other one got old..... the horse pulled up lame and lost a lot of hair.... too much to be usefull anymore. This bow was lighter and seems to have "finer" hair as it pulls a smoother tone and is better ballanced than my original. The price was also less than I expected to pay for a bow of this quality. I'm very happy with it and it's holding up very well. 5/5 E. Svanoe (Wisconsin, USA) - See all my reviews, December 18, 2012

    Good Bow Would Buy Again

    This is a very good bow for the money, only item of note is the metal wire wrap has a plastic shrink wrap on top of it which I heard should remain in place. This bow replaced a $350 bow my Daughter broke and she said it feels equal to the one that broke. I would buy this item again. 5/5 Driveby79 - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

    Approved by discerning violin teacher

    My son asked for a new bow for his birthday. I don't know anything about violins or bows so went by reviews.1. The hexagonal shape does matter2. It is nice and light3. It plays well.I was very relieved when we could hear the difference AND his violin teacher (who has been pretty discerning on quality of strings etc) said it was a good bow. Very happy with quality for this price. 5/5 tina "bluebird" - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

    I bought this bow due to my other one broke and the price was amazing a bow cost more just to be rehaired. the shiping was vary fast recieved my bow 2days after i placed the order. the bow is thinner then my other one what is no problem, but the only con i have is that the bow had acouple lil hairs sticking out at the end what i just took a plucked out so easly solved the problem. great buy would recomend. 4/5 The McLovin (Nonya, buis ness) - See all my reviews, April 24, 2012

    Excellent product, fast shipping

    This product far exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. I accidentally broke my brother's violin bow and wanted to get him a decent one to use until he could afford to buy a great one (neither of us can afford the lofty prices of some 'great' bows right now), but it turned out that this bow was nicer than we expected and nicer than the one I broke (which cost twice as much). It arrived before the projected time and all in all I am very pleased. 5/5 Amanda Schoolcraft - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

    Decent violin bow

    Bought this bow as a second or backup bow. Also wanted to hear the difference between a wooden bow and a carbon fiber bow. My arcos brasil carbon fiber bow has a fuller, richer sound--blinded listener verified this. Nonetheless, this pernambuco wood bow is a good value for the price. Will serve well as a backup bow. (Would think the seller might know how to spell pernambuco---maybe they are using a different wood--ha) 3/5 flagator1980 - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
