Product Description
Crystallography and structure theory have recently received increasing interest due to their role in understanding biological structures, high-temperature superconductors, and effects on mineral properties related to changes in temperature and pressure. This book offers a comprehensive account of the wide range of crystallography in many branches of science. The fundamentals, the most frequently used procedures and experimental techniques are all described in a detailed way. A number of appendices are devoted to more specialist aspects. The book is an updated and fully revised new edition with emphasis on the wide range of topical applications and current areas of research. Ample illustrations help clarify the subject matter. To provide a better understanding of the basics of crystallography, a compact disk has been added to this new edition, offering the facilities of modern graphics to simulate experiments, show complex images, and provide a number of exercises. |

The best modern textbook for the advanced crystallographer by Dr. Peter Muller (Cambridge, MA)  5 Stars
August 17, 2008
This is the ideal book to deepen the knowledge one has gained from a beginner's book like Werner Massa's "Crystal Structure Determination" or Jenny Glusker's "Crystal Structure Analysis -- A Primer". Most important aspects of crystallography are explained in an understandable fashion and every serious crystallographer should read this book. It should be pointed out that the second edition (2002) is significantly better then the first, which was already very good.

A must-have for crystallographers  4 Stars
April 17, 2001
This is the only advanced general survey of topics in xray crystallography. Chapters are written by different authors, and the book feels pasted together. It is now seriously out of date.

| Crystal Structure Determination
by Werner Massa (Author), R.O. Gould (Translator)
This textbook gives a concise introduction to modern crystal structure determination, emphasizing both the crystallographic background and how to actually perform it. The theoretical sections give more importance to providing good understanding, supported by many illustrations, than to rigorously deriving the mathematics. The most important measuring techniques, including the use of modern area detectors, and the methods of data reduction, structure solution and refinement are discussed...
