Crystallography

"Crystallography: An Outline of the Geometrical Properties of Crystals" by Thomas Leonard Walker, provides a detailed exploration of the geometric principles underlying crystal structures. Published in 1914, this work offers a comprehensive overview of the subject, suitable for students and researchers in mineralogy, physics, and materials science.

Walker delves into the symmetries, forms, and classifications of crystals, presenting a systematic approach to understanding their physical characteristics. The book emphasizes the mathematical foundations of crystallography, making it an invaluable resource for those seeking a rigorous treatment of the topic. Its historical context adds to its significance, offering insights into the state of crystallography at the beginning of the 20th century. Though originally published over a century ago, the fundamental principles detailed in "Crystallography" remain relevant to modern scientific inquiry.
