Item description from seller

Sir William Lawrence Bragg's Atomic Structure of Minerals is a landmark work that combines crystallography and mineralogy to reveal the atomic arrangements within minerals. Published during a time when X-ray crystallography was revolutionizing the study of solid materials, Bragg's work is both scientifically innovative and pedagogically significant. Bragg pioneered the use of X-ray diffraction to determine the atomic structures of minerals. This method, developed with his father, William Henry Bragg, was foundational for understanding how atoms are arranged in crystalline solids. The book presents detailed structural analyses of key minerals, including silicates, oxides, and carbonates. Bragg s structural insights clarified the geometry and bonding in minerals like quartz, feldspar, and calcite. Bragg s work inspired generations of crystallographers and mineralogists, including researchers who expanded his methods to study more complex structures, such as biological macromolecules. 8vo, original blue cloth, some external wear to edges and corners, int. VG-E. Former owner was Arthur Greenberg, an acccomplished scholar on the history of chemistry.
