This book is published to celebrate the International Year of
Crystallography 2014, as proclaimed by the United Nations. The year
has been chosen as the International Year of Crystallography since
it was 100 years ago that the first Nobel Prize was awarded for
crystallographic observations to Max von Laue. Just a year later,
Sir William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg, father and son,
won their prize for showing the possibility of determining atomic
positions in crystals. This book describes the lives and works of
33 Nobel Laureates starting with Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen (1901) and
ending with Brian Kobilka (2012). It also reproduces the most
important works of these scientists. The book gives a historical
perspective of a scientific field that is important for our
understanding of the atomic organization of the world around us,
from inorganic materials to complex biological molecules, such as
the ribosome.This book is a timely summary of the main developments
in crystallography over the last 100 years. The central
publications of 33 Nobel laureates are reproduced. There is no
other book providing this selection of material.
