• This book presents a less mathematical approach to X-ray crystal structure determination than is given in some detailed texts and concentrates on practical aspects. The book provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the techniques described, but also gives practical advice on topics such as growing crystals, solving and refining structures, and understanding and using the results. There are also plenty of worked examples and problems provided (with answers), to reinforce the material presented. The book is based on the intensive course run by the Chemical Crystallography Group of the British Crystallographic Association every two years, and the material is drawn from the 2007 and 2009 courses. Much of the material of the first edition in 2001 has been significantly updated and expanded, and some new topics have been added. The approach to several of the topics is somewhat different as a result of changes in the authorship and the course teaching team. These changes reflect developments in the subject.
