Prof. Dr. Dr. Horst Czichos war über zehn Jahre lang Präsident der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin, die die Bundesregierung in Fragen der Materialtechnik und Chemie berät. Er lehrt Mechatronik an der Beuth-Hochschule für Technik Berlin und ist Träger des Christian-Peter-Beuth-Preises für herausragende Leistungen zur Förderung der Ingenieurausbildung.

From the reviews:"This is an impressive Handbook. It is well referenced and should be an excellent overall general reference for metrology in measurements. The CD ROM is most impressive and makes the Handbook that much more useful. I also like the first several chapters that discuss metrology concepts and ideas and I hope that the Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods is used by scientists and engineers around the world."Dr. Richard B. Pettit Managing Editor, NCSLI MEASURE, The Journal of Measurement Science"The book very successfully develops and explains clearly the guidelines and standards for material measurements and the respective characterization of technical systems. More than 50 pages are incorporated which cover the latest standards ... . Quick access to the data in the various parts of the book is guaranteed by a detailed index and a fully searchable CD-ROM. ... it can only be emphasized that the book represents a must on the desk of every scientist, expert and student involved in materials measurements." (Materialprüfung, Vol. 49 (3), 2007)"The Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods provides on 1208 pages a concise compilation from more than 100 leading experts in the fields of physics and engineering from all over the world. ... is of high value for all pharmaceutical scientists involved in the characterization of drugs, excipients, drug products, devices and packaging materials. ... I recommend the Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods as a reference book of high value." (Peter Kleinebudde, European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, Vol. 66, 2007)"...an overview of the wide variety of materials measurement procedures is essential for all natural and engineering scientists and - the recently published Springer Handbook of Materials Measurement Methods really closes the gap. ...professionals need not only handbooks of materials data but clear guidelines and standards for how to measure the full spectrum of
