Abstract

Some of the reasons for and the developing impact of the rapid broadening of the field of materials are presented and the impact of the concomitant shift away from the domination of metals on education and research is assesed. Both the opportunities presented by this view of the materials spectrum and the inherent dangers of over reaction and hyperbole are presented.
