Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Review Quotes: "Girolami, an expert in the area, understands key issues of crystallography from the standpoint of a practicing chemist. He communicates in a crisp style. I found his presentation of the topic to be clear and interesting, and would use this text as part of a course in chemical crystallography for advanced undergrads and beginning grad students." -- -Professor Eric Schelter, University of Pennslyvania "Publisher's Advance Reviews"Review Quotes: "This is a very readable text, and generally very well written with good coverage and many excellent exercises. I particularly liked the chapters on symmetry and direct methods." -- -Dr. Marvin L. Hackert, The University of Texas at Austin "Publisher's Advance Reviews"

Contributor Bio:  Girolami, Gregory S Gregory S. Girolami is the William and Janet Lycan Professor of Chemistry and Chemistry Department Head at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He received B. S. degrees both in chemistry and in physics from the University of Texas at Austin, and his Ph. D. degree in 1981 from the University of California at Berkeley. Thereafter, he was a NATO postdoctoral fellow at Imperial College of Sciences and Technology in London, England, with Nobel Laureate Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson. He joined the faculty of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1983. His research emphasizes the synthesis of new inorganic and organometallic compounds and materials, investigations of their reactivity, and measurements and interpretations of their physical properties. As part of this work, he has extensively used X-ray crystallography, and has taught a course on this topic at the University of Illinois since 1997.
