About this book
After reading the book, you will not only know what a space group is and how to read the International Tables for Crystallography, but will also be able to interpret crystallographic specifications in specialist publications. If questions remain, you also have the opportunity to ask the author on the book's website.
Reviews
“It is a nice introduction to the subject for students of the earth sciences, chemistry and possibly the life sciences. … considering that for an increasing fraction of students a formal and rigorous treatment has become highly repulsive, a textbook like the present one does have a role to play.” (Massimo Nespolo, Acta Crystallographica, May 4, 2021)
