Schmalzried, Hermann (1932-) is an exception to the rule. Formerly a postdoc with Carl Wagner, Hermann has been a mentor and inspiration to many of the current generation of researchers in the field of solid-state reactions in ceramic systems and is profusely thanked by the authors. 

Two German physical chemists, W. Sehottky and C. Wagner, founded this branch of materials seience. The story is very clearly set out in a biographical memoir of Carl Wagner (1901 1977) by another pioneer solid-state chemist, Hermann Schmalzried (1991), and also in Wagner s own survey of point defects and their interaction (Wagner 1977) - his last publieation.
