Understanding the composition and chemistry of the Earth's atmosphere is essential to global ecological and environmental policy making and research.

Designed for those who wish to understand and engage with the principles behind the process of crystal structure determination by X-ray diffraction, this title contains a comprehensive series of chapters, each of which concludes with a set of problems, for which solutions are provided. An ideal resource for senior undergraduates and early-stage postgraduates, The Essence of Crystallography has an accompanying website with programs written for the text, including an interactive simulation of crystal structure determination using prepared intensity data sets.The Program Suite comprises programs designed around the text in order to assist in both understanding the textual material and solving problems related to it.

This book, suitable for undergraduates in chemistry, describes atomic orbitals in detail and is illustrated by three-dimensional plots of the mathematical functions (no artists' impressions). It then extends the key fundamental quantum properties to many-electron atoms, linear combinations of atomic orbitals, simple molecules, delocalised systems, atomic spectroscopy and paramagnetism.
