"Kristallographie" has now appeared, after 32 years, in its seventh edition (Crystallography in its third). The book has changed greatly over these 32 years author and translator alike, sincerely hope for the better. Fundamentally it is a basic text, suitable for use at an early stage in a course of study with great importance to the exercises – now more than a hundred in number – which give many possibilities for deepening the study of this fascinating topic.
This book on crystallography emphasizes geometrical aspects and is directed to those involved in natural sciences, especially chemists, mineralogists and geologists. Symmetry elements, Bravais lattices as well as space and point groups are dealt on the basis of the space lattice. Additional chapters treat the subjects of crystal chemistry and X-ray methods, among others. Numerous exercises with appended solutions allow readers to test and augment their level of comprehension.
