About this title

Synopsis

X-ray crystallography provides us with the most accurate picture we can get of atomic and molecular structures in crystals. It provides a hard bedrock of structural results in chemistry and in mineralogy. In biology, where the structures are not fully crystalline, it can still provide valuable results and, indeed, the impact here has been revolutionary. It is still an immense field for young workers, and no doubt will provide yet more striking develop- ments of a major character. It does, however, require a wide range of intellectual application, and a considerable ability in many fields. This book will provide much help. It is a very straightforward and thorough guide to every aspect of the subject. The authors are experienced both as research workers themselves and as teachers of standing, and this is shown in their clarity of exposition. There are plenty of iliustrations and worked examples to aid the student to obtain a real grasp of the subject.

Review

From the reviews of the fourth edition:

"The fourth edition of the well-known and classic book: Structure determination by X-ray crystallography by Ladd and Palmer is a welcome introduction to the field. a ] the authors succeeded in linking the historical roots of crystallography to its most recent developments. This new edition of the a ~Ladd & Palmera (TM) will be helpful for those who really want to learn and practice crystallography and are not happy to simply press return on their keyboards."
