Book excerpt: Requires no prior knowledge of the subject, but is comprehensive and detailed making it useful for both the novice and experienced user of the powder diffraction method. Useful for any scientific or engineering background, where precise structural information is required. Comprehensively describes the state-of-the-art in structure determination from powder diffraction data both theoretically and practically using multiple examples of varying complexity. Pays particular attention to the utilization of Internet resources, especially the well-tested and freely available computer codes designed for processing of powder diffraction data.
