Publisher's Synopsis
Crystallography: An Outline Of The Geometrical Properties Of Crystals is a book written by Thomas Leonard Walker and first published in 1914. The book provides a detailed overview of the fundamental principles of crystallography, which is the study of the geometric properties of crystals.The book is divided into four main sections. The first section provides an introduction to crystallography and covers the basic concepts and terminology used in the field. The second section focuses on the symmetry of crystals, including the different types of symmetry and how they are represented mathematically.The third section of the book covers crystal structures, including the different types of crystal structures and how they are classified. The final section of the book covers crystal optics, which is the study of how crystals interact with light.Throughout the book, Walker provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts and principles of crystallography. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of crystallography.Crystallography: An Outline Of The Geometrical Properties Of Crystals is a classic text in the field of crystallography and is still widely used today. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the fundamental principles of crystallography and the properties of crystals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
