Summary:"The second edition of this well received book continues to offer the most concise, authoritative, and easily read and understood introduction to the field of crystallography. Dedicated to providing a complete, basic presentation of the subject that does not assume a background in physics or math, the book's contents flow logically from basic principles to methods, such as those for solving phase problems, interpretation of Patterson maps, and the difference Fourier method, fundamental theory of diffraction and properties of crystals, and applications in determining macromolecular structure." "This new edition includes a vast amount of carefully updated material, as well as two completely new chapters on Recording and Compiling X-ray Data and Growing Crystals of Proteins and Other Macromolecules."--BOOK JACKET.
