  Catering for the ceramists who need an insight into the elementary principles of electricity, magnetism and ionic structures, this book concerns solid state physics beginning with atomic structure and leading up to the principles underlying conductive, semiconductive, dielectric and ferroelectric behaviour. Subsequently there is a description of the methods of fabrication and conductive ceramics from heating rods to gas sensors and superconductors, as well as dielectrics from high tension insulators to chip capacitators, piezoelectrics from spark generators to sonar, pyroelectrics, and electro-optics.
