Unlike traditional textbooks that often rely heavily on algebra and become very technical, this book begins with a 'pictorial' approach, using symmetry diagrams from the International Tables for Crystallography. The initial chapters focus on simple 'frieze' and 'wallpaper' patterns, with numerous examples from the visual arts, helping readers build an intuitive understanding of symmetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"765\" data-end=\"1075\"\u003eBy the end of Chapter 3, readers will be able to identify and analyze these basic symmetries and apply the nomenclature and symbols from the International Tables. The mathematical formalism is introduced later in the book, ensuring that readers will have a solid, intuitive grasp of the subject by that point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1358\"\u003eThis book is aimed at graduate students, advanced undergraduates, and practitioners in fields such as physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and structural biology.

The author, Paolo Radaelli, successfully covers the topic of symmetry in crystallography within just 144 pages, which is considered a significant accomplishment. The book also includes a collection of monographs, textbooks, and symmetry-related references across various disciplines, making it a valuable resource for students and professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"2211\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1875\"\u003eReview Excerpt\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1879\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1879\" data-end=\"2163\"\u003e\"Written in a very stylish and accessible manner and supported with many useful black-and-white pictures and photographs in addition to important equations...

He has worked at prestigious institutions such as the Argonne National Laboratory, CNRS Grenoble, the Institute Laue-Langevin, and the ISIS Facility at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. His research focuses on transition metal oxides with novel physical phenomena, such as high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magneto-resistance, and multiferroic behavior, which have potential device applications.
