Basic Elements of Crystallography - Nevill Gonzalez (University of Warsaw Szwacki - Bog

This book is intended to be a complete and clear introduction to the field of crystallography. It includes an extensive discussion on the 14 Bravais lattices and the reciprocal to them, basic concepts of point- and space-group symmetry, the crystal structure of elements and binary compounds, and much more. The purpose of this textbook is to illustrate rather than describe "using many words" the structure of materials. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises designed in such a way to encourage students to explore the different crystal structures they are learning about. The solutions to exercises are provided at the end of the textbook.
