- Emphasis on practical aspects of the topic
- Numerous exercises and worked examples
- Comprehensive and up to date treatment
- Abundant illustrative material throughout
- Significant updates on first edition
New to this edition - Much of the material of the first edition has been significantly updated and expanded, and some new topics have been added. The approach to several of the topics has changed as a result of new authorship. These changes reflect developments in the subject.
This text focuses on the practical aspects of crystal structure analysis, and provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the technique. By choosing an approach that does not put too much emphasis on the mathematics
involved, the book gives practical advice on topics such as growing crystals, solving and refining structures, and understanding and using the results. The technique described is a core experimental method in modern structural chemistry, and plays an ever more important role in the careers of graduate students, postdoctoral and academic staff in chemistry, and final-year undergraduates.
Much of the material of the first edition has been significantly updated and expanded, and some new topics have been added. The approach to several of the topics has changed, reflecting the book's new authorship, and recent developments in the subject.Readership: Graduate students, lecturers, and professionals
in crystallography, solid state chemistry, condensed matter physics, structural biology, and materials science.

"Offers a balanced and readable overview and background of the subject as an entry point to understand and/or perform a single crystal structure analysis. As such, I can highly recommend this book as a companion to a hands-on course around one of the available structure determination software packages." - Ton Spek, Crystallography Reviews
