Abstract
IN Great Britain, X-ray crystallographers are abundant, and each can afford to specialize. Some of us take to hydrocarbons, others only to carbohydrates, and to others again only the fibrous state of matter appeals. In Switzerland, crystallographers are scarce, and a man who wants to serve university and industrial laboratories alike must be able to master not only all the techniques of X-ray analysis, but also electron diffraction and radiography as well. Prof. E. Brandenberger at Zurich directs such an all-round X-ray laboratory, and in the book under notice he tries to explain to his colleagues the potentialities and limitations of X-ray diffraction.
