The Sohn International Symposium on Advanced Processing of Metals and Materials was held in San Diego, California from August 27 to 31, 2006. It was organized to honour the very distinguished work and lifetime achievements of Prof. H.Y. Sohn, renowned for his impact in various fields, processing routes and investigation techniques. The symposium drew an overwhelming response from the international professional community, with 530 contributions received from authors and co-authors from more than 80 countries all over the world. A full report on the conference has been published in MEI Online.

The Proceedings of the conference has now been published by John Wiley. This nine-volume set captures all of the research and advancements presented at the Symposium. The wide range of topics includes nonferrous high temperature extraction and processing; iron and steel making; aqueous, electrochemical processing and molten salts; nano, composite, refractory and polymer materials; and, recycling, recovery and waste treatment.

We would appreciate any comments on these volumes.
