Structure of materials

"Blending rigorous presentation with ease of reading, this is a self-contained textbook on the fundamentals of crystallography, symmetry, and diffraction. Emphasis is placed on combining visual illustrations of crystal structures with the mathematical theory of crystallography to understand the complexity of a broad range of materials. The first half of the book describes the basics of crystallography, discussing bonding, crystal systems, symmetry, and concepts of diffraction. The second half is more advanced, focusing on different classes of materials, and building on an understanding of the simpler to more complex atomic structures."--Jacket.
