I wish to express my appreciation to my present and former students who have helped enormously to study, identify, and elucidate the micromechanisms underlying mechanical behavior in rigid natural systems. Also, my thanks go to E. Baer and A. Hiltner, who brought fresh new insight into hierarchical structures in biological systems; to the late Sid Diamond of the U5. Department of Energy, who strongly encouraged and supported the ongoing search for tough ceramic materials; and to my wife, Jane, for her help and patience.
