A classic reference-text that summarizes the current state of the field of amorphous solids, as well as the basics of the structure and properties of these materials. Revised, updated, and expanded to reflect advances over the 20 years since publication of the first edition, the second edition adds two new chapters: one covers chemical durability (the reaction of glass with water), which includes recent work related to corrosion of glass and radioactive waste disposal; the other concerns the reaction of gases with glass, especially oxygen.
