Readership: Graduate students, researchers, and professionals in crystallography, chemistry, materials science, and pharmacology.
Joel Bernstein, Department of Chemistry, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer Sheva, Israel
"... clear, vigorous, well-written and very readable ... There seems to be nothing relevant that Bernstein has not included; his scholarship and command and study of the vast literature are remarkable ... an excellent work." - Current Engineering Practice
"Joel Bernstein's book represents the single most important source for the development of critical understanding of polymorphism and its commercial and industrial importance and might well play a decisive role in categorizing and reorganizing problems and endeavours on polymorphism-related research." - Current Engineering Practice
"Prof. Joel Bernstein displays an impressive grasp of the subject of polymorphism, making possible a lot of information more accessible to the interesed reader." - Current Engineering Practice
"... an excellent resource book and a very good read ... can be recommended strongly both for content and interest." - Robert Gould, Crystallographic Newsletter
"... a delight to review this eagerly awaited tome ... In the end, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and in my opinion, Bernstein has served us a nutritional feast here. Enjoy!" - Roger J. Davey, Cryst. Growth Des.
