Synopsis

This book is important because it is the first textbook in an area that has become very popular in recent times. There are around 250 research groups in crystal engineering worldwide today. The subject has been researched for around 40 years but there is still no textbook at the level of senior undergraduates and beginning PhD students. This book is expected to fill this gap. The writing style is simple, with an adequate number of exercises and problems, and the diagrams are easy to understand. This book consists major areas of the subject, including organic crystals and co-ordination polymers, and can easily form the basis of a 30 to 40 lecture course for senior undergraduates.

Revue de presse

This book has a modern layout and much care has gone into preparing numerous figures and attractive illustrations. This book manages well to illustrate the interdisciplinary character and the central role of crystallography in many research areas today. --Crystallography Reviews

The length, its modest price, its fair and balanced treatment of topics, and its breadth and style make it perfectly suited to serve as a one-semester course to introduce crystal engineering to undergraduate or first-year graduate students in chemistry or materials science. It effectively addresses a need that has been created by the explosive growth of crystal engineering research in the past two decades. --Nature Chemistry

Crystal Engineering is an entry point to the field for beginners, for students, and for everyone who is willing to look at solid state chemistry and crystallography from a less traditional angle. The glossary is very useful. Importantly the book has a very affordable price, which is nowadays a precondition, together with quality and clarity, to be successful as a textbook. --Angewandte Chemie International Edition
