This text focuses on the practical aspects of crystal structure analysis, and provides the necessary conceptual framework for understanding and applying the technique. By choosing an approach that does not put too much emphasis on the mathematics involved, the book gives practical advice on topics such as growing crystals, solving and refining structures, and understanding and using the results. The technique described is a core experimental method in modernstructural chemistry, and plays an ever more important role in the careers of graduate students, postdoctoral and academic staff in chemistry, and final-year undergraduates.Much of the material of the first edition has been significantly updated and expanded, and some new topics have been added. The approach to several of the topics has changed, reflecting the book''s new authorship, and recent developments in the subject.

Women in STEM: Breaking Down the Barriers provides a comprehensive examination of the persistent underrepresentation of women across science, technology, engineering and mathematics.Drawing from extensive research spanning preschool education through university and employment sectors, this book uniquely integrates perspectives from all three key developmental stages to offer a complete analysis of the barriers women face. It critically evaluates existing interventions and approaches, revealing which strategies have proven effective and which have fallen short.Women in STEM: Breaking Down the Barriers delivers practical, actionable recommendations for stakeholders across the STEM ecosystem and will be of use to professional bodies, universities and government policy makers as well as students in gender studies, sociology and education.
