Dedication for the First Edition The Materials Handbook: A Concise Desktop Reference is dedicated to my father, Antonio, and my mother, Claudine, to my sister, Elsa, and to my spouse Louise St Amour for their love and support. I want also to express my thanks to my two parents and my uncle Consalvo Cardarelli, which in close collaboration have provided valuable financial support when I was a teenager to contribute to my first fully equipped geological and chemical laboratory and to my personal comprehensive scientific library. This was the starting point of my strong and extensive interest in both science and technology, and excessive consumption of scientific and technical literature. Dedication for the Third Edition Materials Handbook: A Concise Desktop Reference is dedicated to my father, Antonio, and my mother, Claudine, to my sister, Elsa, to my two nieces, Chiara Lucia and Venezia Elena, and to my great friend Louise St-Amour for their love and support.
