STRUCTURAL PRINCIPLES IN INORGANIC COMPOUNDS W. E. AIoTsoN,

This book is used by its author, a lecturer in chemistry at the university of Nottingham, England, in a beginning chemistry course. We highly recommend it to all earth scientists. rt deals, in simple and concise language, with the relations of atomic, molecular and crystal structures to physical and chemical properties. This subject is, even nowadays, badly neglected in chemistry teaching in the uSA. yet, to crystallographers and mineralogists, it is the most interesting part of the whole of chemistry and deserves a well-planned treatment, such as the present one.
