Synopsis

The Laureates' biographies in chronological sequence of the Award dates are beautifully written, are accompanied by pertinent references and a hint at what the discovery has led to. They have assembled a valuable compilation of papers and commentaries. - Crystallography News

This book is published to celebrate the International Year of Crystallography 2014, as proclaimed by the United Nations. The year has been chosen as the International Year of Crystallography since it was 100 years ago that the first Nobel Prize was awarded for crystallographic observations to Max von Laue. Just a year later, Sir William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg, father and son, won their prize for showing the possibility of determining atomic positions in crystals.

This book describes the lives and works of 33 Nobel Laureates starting with Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen (1901) and ending with Brian Kobilka (2012). It also reproduces the most important works of these scientists. The book gives a historical perspective of a scientific field that is important for our understanding of the atomic organization of the world around us, from inorganic materials to complex biological molecules, such as the ribosome.

This book is a timely summary of the main developments in crystallography over the last 100 years. The central publications of 33 Nobel laureates are reproduced. There is no other book providing this selection of material.

Revue de presse

The book is superbly produced. There are many gems in this book as well as the compendium of important research articles. I heartily commend this book. --Crystallography Reviews

The editors succeeded in presenting an exciting compilation, which traces significant developments in crystallography and illustrates relevant applications in many disciplines. The book invites you to browse, but is also ideally suited as a reference work. --Professor Dr Armin Feldhoff Leibniz, University of Hanover, Germany

This book provides a vivid insight into the development of crystallography, and is certainly a valid tool for promoting our science and for showing our chemist, physicist, mineralogist, biologist and material scientist 'users' that we are constantly improving our tools in order to obtain a clearer picture of the structure of matter even in the most complicated cases. --Acta Crystallographica
