International Tables for Crystallography, Volume A, Space-group symmetry. 6th edition. Edited by Mois I. Aroyo. Wiley, 2016. Pp. xxi + 873. Price GBP 295.00, EUR 354.00 (hardcover). ISBN 978-0-470-97423-0.

Volume A of International Tables for Crystallography approaches its 100th birthday. In fact, although it first appeared under this title only in 1935, its predecessor is the book by Wyckoff (1922), which already contained lists of general and special equivalent positions (later to be called Wyckoff positions) and, in its second edition (Wyckoff, 1930), also three-dimensional drawings of the sym...

Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography. Edited by Thomas Armbruster and Rosa Micaela Danisi. De Gruyter, 2015. Hardcover, Pp. XII+201. Price EUR 99.945, USD 140, GBP 74.99. ISBN 9783110417104.

While the structural study of biomaterials recently seems to be attracting increasing attention in crystallographic effort, mineralogy formed a foundation for modern crystallography and there are still many open important questions in this field. Highlights in Mineralogical Crystallography was written to describe some of these hot topics. To broaden the field of vision of the book, it was writt...

50 Years of Materials Science in Singapore. Edited by Freddy Boey, B. V. R. Chowdari and Subbu S. Venkatraman. World Scientific, 2016. Pp. 244. Price GBP 23.00 (ISBN 978-981-3147-55-3, softcover), GBP 48.00 (ISBN 978-981-4730-69-3 hardcover).

As clearly pointed out in the series title, the volume is one in a long list of books intended to celebrate the first 50 years of independent Singapore (1965–2015), a small but technologically advanced state that acts as a highly successful melting pot harmoniously amalgamating a composite population of about five million inhabitants speaking tens of different languages. 50 Years of Materials S...

X-Ray Crystallography. Second Edition. By William Clegg. Oxford University Press, 2015. Pp. 128. Price GBP 14.99 (paperback). ISBN 9780198700975.

During my career, I have taught undergraduates majoring in physics and undergraduates majoring in chemistry. I have also taught molecular biologists and biochemists. My initial preference in teaching X-ray crystallography to any undergraduate was for my physics undergraduate course book in crystallography by Michael Woolfson (1970). However, that book, with its clear mathematical foundation, is...
