Abstract
In modern society, we are surrounded by an amazing variety of materials. Most of the materials discussed in this book are solids that have been modified from their natural states to make them more suitable for practical applications. The materials people use have such an impact on their lifestyles that historical eras have been named for them. Ancient artifacts found by archaeologists have been dated and analyzed to reveal the increasing sophistication of their manufacturing methods. Historians have shown that technological advancements created new tools for agriculture and new weapons for armies. Explorers established trade routes to redistribute raw materials and finished products. Modern culture is also influenced by the availability of new materials.
