Product Description
Product Description
This informative book explains the principles and practice of one of the most important methods of determining the structures of molecules, a subject of central interest in modern chemistry. It includes a set of case studies to illustrate how the method works. Mathematical treatment is kept at a relatively low level and is complemented by extensive graphical illustrations.

First Sentence
The lower limit on the size of objects which can be clearly seen with a microscope of sufficient magnifying power is set, not by optical engineering capabilities, but by the wavelength of light itself (in the range 400-700 nm). Read the first page

This book describes the method and steps used to determine crystal structure very well. It also gives a good account of symmetry groups used in crystal structure, better than my lecture notes anyway. However for the actual mathematical treatment of diffraction, this book offers too much discussion and spends a lot of text describing the maths you'll have already known if you've done A-level or Advanced Higher physics. If you're unsure of the basic CSD method and symmetry then get this book, if you do not understand the mathematics of CSD spend your money on another book.

Some reviews of this book suggest that it is not that hot. X ray takes a life time and is very involved to understand, that is why it is so specialist, but to pass degree you only need a basic understanding. Trust me I have been there too so I know this fact. This book is useful, so use it and try not to worry about long drawn out lecture notes which are rubbish anyway.Drawing is always useful in X ray as it explains things to you that words can never do and saves time.Learn the fancy stuff when you have completed the degree.

A good genera; introduction to crystallogrpahy, much of the information from a "hands on" point of view. The maths is kept to a minimum, and it is obvious that the author (an expert in the field) is keen to pass on useful advice. Highly recommended.
