The Characters of Crystals: An Introduction to Physical Crystallography by Alfred J. Moses is a comprehensive guide to the study of crystals and crystallography. The book provides an in-depth introduction to the physical properties of crystals and their structures, including their symmetry, lattice structures, and crystallographic axes. The book is divided into three main parts, each of which covers a different aspect of crystallography. Part one covers the basics of crystallography, including the different types of crystals and their properties. Part two goes into more detail about crystal symmetry, including the different types of symmetry operations and their effects on crystal structures. Part three covers the practical applications of crystallography, including the use of X-ray diffraction and other techniques to determine crystal structures. The book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts presented.Overall, The Characters of Crystals is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the study of crystals and crystallography. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
