Reviews

... an important book which will remain the standard work for teachers, students, and researchers for years to come. Acta Crystallographica

`The authors of the various chapters and the editors have evidently put in a great deal of work, with the result that most contributions have gained in thoroughness, perspective, and clarity ... the original lecture notes have been transformed into an important book which will remain the standard woprk for teachers, students and researchers for many years to come.' Jack D. Dunitz, Laboratorium fur organische Chemie, CH-8092 Zurich, Journal of Applied Crystallography, (1993) `. . . an important book which will remain the standard work for teachers, students, and researchers for years to come.'
