Structure and Chemistry of Crystalline Solids - Hardcover

From the reviews of the first edition:

"This book is very interesting and useful for its ability to describe systematically the often-overlooked similarities among crystal structures that appear, at first glance, to be very different. As such, it will appeal to specialists in crystal chemistry who are interested in probing deeper into structural similarities and differences in solid-state compounds and also to educators and students who desire supplementary information about crystal structures." (Raymond E. Schaak, JACS, Vol. 129 (2), 2007)

Understandable by anyone concerned with crystals or solid state properties dependent on structure

Presents a general system using simple notation to reveal similarities and differences among crystal structures

More than 300 selected and prepared figures illustrate structures found in thousands of compounds
