Symmetry in crystallography : understanding the international tables

Symmetry in crystallography : understanding the international tables / Paolo G. Radaelli.

"This book presents the reader with a fresh and unconventional approach to teaching crystallographic symmetry. Whereas traditional crystallography textbooks make a heavy use of algebra and rapidly become very technical, this book adopts in the first few chapters a 'pictorial' approach...
