Just as previous periods of history have been characterized by the materials used, so the late 20th century is experiencing a revolution based on a range of materials. This work is designed as an accessible account of the possibilities presented by these advances.

Andrew Briggs
Andrew Briggs read physics at Oxford University, and then studied for a Ph.D. at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. In 1980 he returned to Oxford to develop applications of acoustic microscopy in materials science. Two years later he was appointed to a Royal Society Research Fellowship in the Physical Sciences. In 1984 he was appointed to a University Lectureship and elected to a Fellowship of Wolfson College. From 1989-1991 he was Honorary Treasurer of the Royal. Microscopical Society. His book on acoustic microscopy was published earlier this year.
