Best books to learn Materials science, in order

Materials science connects the atomic to the everyday, so a good path follows that chain of causation. Start with atomic bonding and crystal structure, because structure explains properties; move to how metals, ceramics, and polymers behave and how phase diagrams govern them; and reach mechanical behavior and why materials fail last, where the whole structure-to-performance story pays off.
