International Tables for Crystallography is the definitive resource and reference work for crystallography and structural science. The series comprises articles and tables of data relevant to crystallographic research and to applications of crystallographic methods in all sciences concerned with the structure and properties of materials. Emphasis is given to symmetry, diffraction methods and techniques of crystal structure determination, and the physical and chemical properties of crystals. Each volume also contains discussions of theory, practical explanations and examples, all of which are useful for teaching. This is Volume 1 on X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy.
