Great, 13 Oct 2008
Now i know what all my crystals are for. Would be nice if the index was made of mini pictures as I didn't know what my crystals were all called. The book contains info on all the crystals I have ever seen. (Thats lodes)
Most comprehensive guide on crystals out there!, 21 Aug 2008
I am a beginner when it comes to crystals and this book was a fantastic introduction for me, although I don't think it would be out of place in the expert's collection either.
It is very clear and well set out with large colourful photos of each crystal. The crystals are in alphabetical order listing their healing attributes and the position of use. From what I could tell there seems to be a very wide collection of well known and rarer crystals listed.
At the start of the book there is a section on crystal formation and crystal healing. The shapes of the crystals and the effect that it has on their healing properties is written about at the back of the book. These sections really helped me with what to actually do with the crystal now I have got the right one for me.
Overall this is a wonderful purchase for the crystal enthusiast or the crystal beginner!
did not help with my geology gcse, 06 Apr 2008
I used this bible - thinking it to be ultimate unchallengable Truth - but when I failed my geology gcse I suddenly remember that the bible was actually a cobbled together, contradictory and antique bundle of opinions and nonsense.
A worthwhile resource, 06 Apr 2008
All crystals seem to have some sort of hidden healing power, this book helps you select the one that is right for you. A real treat to even read about the obscure cystals, too. Well worth the invetment if you want to learn about these magical stones of life.
Definitive it is!, 21 Jan 2008
A very good book which I use often to check out stones and use her other books eg encyclopedia of crystals and new crystals. Worth it for a reference book.

Pretty pictures but not much else, 30 Dec 2008
I bought this book expecting to learn about and marvel at snowflakes. Well, the pictures are amazing and there is plenty to marvel at - but I didn't learn much. The book has plenty of photographs of different types of snowflakes interspersed with quotations, but there is little information about the magic of how they're formed.

Illustrates CSD well but mathematical side is too light, 10 Apr 2004
This book describes the method and steps used to determine crystal structure very well. It also gives a good account of symmetry groups used in crystal structure, better than my lecture notes anyway. However for the actual mathematical treatment of diffraction, this book offers too much discussion and spends a lot of text describing the maths you'll have already known if you've done A-level or Advanced Higher physics. If you're unsure of the basic CSD method and symmetry then get this book, if you do not understand the mathematics of CSD spend your money on another book.
All in good order!, 04 Mar 2004
A good genera; introduction to crystallogrpahy, much of the information from a "hands on" point of view. The maths is kept to a minimum, and it is obvious that the author (an expert in the field) is keen to pass on useful advice. Highly recommended.

An excellent self-study aid, 15 Oct 2005
I got this book to teach myself a 2nd year undergraduate heterocycles course because the lecturer giving it was abysmal. I found it invaluable. It is clear and concise yet gives enough detail to make sure you thoroughly understand the principles. There are also plenty of exercises with answers to make sure you can apply the mechanistic principles.

I've had this book for well over 20 years, and every couple of years I get it back out, re-read it and try a few new experiments. This book would be good for a child (with supervision) who is interested in cause-and-effects relations of science. Some simple crystal experiments may be carried out in hours, some take longer. Even an old engineer still enjoys this book!

Read this above all else this Christmas!, 05 Dec 2005
This fine book is lucidly and beautifully written. Subjects like this can be daunting for the non-scientist, but even these aspects are elegantly explained. And it is by no means all about science - Bernal was, it seems, a swordsman of prodigious appetites, which must surely make him a gift for portrayal in some trashy Hollywood flick. His scientific contributions to the Second World War effort are engagingly described, and his ludicrous politics laid bare.
If you can't read it yourself, give it to that bright but hormonally charged nephew of yours.

Easy to read, 11 Mar 2004
There are rather few books on the topic of Photonic crystals. When I started a Master Project about Photonic crystals my Supervisor recomended this book. It is considering the subject quite easy to read and understand and the author is good at including graphic illustrations to help understanding.
John D. Joannopoulos is also the author of many technical articles, some of which I have used in my research.

For application and first-hand in crystallography, 26 May 2001
This book is quite good. Using the good English and can be understandable easily. I've read only once but it made me quite interested in crystallogrphy. It's suitable for both starter and well-studied in crystallography and want to know some basic clearly.
