Carbon Nanotube Science: Synthesis, Properties and Applications vs Fifty Materials That Make the World
Overall winner: Fifty Materials That Make the World
Key Differences
Ian Baker's Fifty Materials That Make the World (3030087808) offers a broader overview of many materials and sits in a more affordable price tier, making it better for general readers and those curious about a wide range of materials and nanotechnology. Peter J. F. Harris's Carbon Nanotube Science (0521535859) provides deeper, academic-focused coverage specifically on carbon nanotubes (synthesis, properties, applications) and has slightly higher user ratings, so choose Harris for focused nanotube study and Baker for breadth and accessibility
