"This work is a fascinating discussion of the strange ways in which solids form, an excellent hobby book describing ways of growing crystals, and a lucid, penetrating introduction to solid state physics. It can be read on any of these levels, or ideally, on all. . . .[the book] should prove a deligh
The book is a good, undergraduate level introduction to crystallography. It describes the basic concepts, like a Bravais lattice, and the 230 space groups. The key idea to grasp is symmetry. And how this can lead to tiling in two or three dimensions. Giving rise to such structures as a body centred
