Summary: Best in the market
Comment: This book provides the reader with a very good, updated and, for most of the topics covered, an in-depth discussion of all subjects associated with work hardening, recovery and recrystallization. Most of the physical metallurgy aspects of metal's deformation and related annealing processes are well presented, including good chapters on textures, hot working and modelling. The authors are well known experts in the field of physical metallurgy and have done a very good job. This is the best book on recrystallization available today, for both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Summary: Covers it all
Comment: My professor called this more a "research compendium" than a "text." Fair enough -- but it works well enough as a text.

The book covers basically all the different aspect of annealing metals: The cold worked state, recovery, recrystallization, grain growth.

The covery of the cold worked state is brief, but good. It emphasizes how stacking fault energy dominates the dislocation structure, which dominates the other processes, plus other factors (ie, strain TYPE).

The covery of recovery is fine, and it handles the static recrystallization of single phase, multiphase and ordered materials, as well as dynamic RX. Then, it hits grain growth.

The nice thing about this book it that it also covers texture effects, both in terms of cold-working and annealing, as well as methods of texture measurement and representation (pole figures, invers PF's, ODF's).

Short answer: this book covers everything.

Summary: Mysteries of materials Science.
Comment: Recrystallization is a phenomenon well known for a long time, but it is only know we can visualize and feel the effects of its importance more clearly with different models and latest development in Technology, as the development of new alloys.
