"Fundamentals of Plastics," authored by Henry M. Richardson and J. Watson Wilson, is a seminal work published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. in New York and London in 1946. This First Edition, Second Impression, is a comprehensive guide to the burgeoning field of plastics engineering and materials science. Richardson, a consulting engineer, and Wilson, a former director of instruction at Yale University, bring authoritative insights into the properties, applications, and manufacturing processes of plastics. This edition is notable for its early exploration of plastics, a material that has since become integral to modern industry. As an ex-library copy, it bears typical markings but remains a valuable resource for historians of technology and collectors of engineering literature. The book's condition reflects its age, with visible wear on the cover and spine, but the integrity of the binding remains sound.
