For those working in the field who wish to go beyond push-button applications, X-Ray Diffraction Procedures for Polycrystalline and Amorphous Materials provides a strong guide to the science and practical techniques of geometrical crystallography and x-ray diffraction of crystals. The book then moves on to provide more complete coverage of space lattices, point groups and space groups, the production of x-rays, measurement of x-rays, photographic powder techniques, and a host of other related topics. The book is then rounded out with a number of appendices for further reference.
