First published in 1988 this textbook on crystal chemistry covers
the basic principles of crystal chemistry and physics and
crystallography and introduces the concept of crystal refractivity.
The book begins with a discussion of atoms and atomic structure and
moves from there to atomic bonding. Throughout this discussion,
special emphasis is given to Pauling's rules. The author then
treats crystal symmetry, crystal field theory, polyhedral structure
and atomic packing. He concludes by introducing the student to more
sophisticated optical properties of minerals, refractivity and
polarisability in crystals. The material covered is sufficiently
basic so that the book will be suitable for undergraduate and
graduate student in advanced mineralogy courses. It will also be of
interest to individuals, including mineralogists, materials
scientists, crystallographers and inorganic chemists who are
engaged in academic and industrial research dealing with the
structure of the solid state.
