• 'This book will go a long way in improving the understanding of modern chemical crystallography among the general chemistry community.' - Gautam R. Desiraju, University of Hyderabad
• 'The book has quite a nice focus bringing together both theoretical and practical aspects of bonding and structure and blending these with crystal data. It is very well written, in an interesting way, and strikes a nice level - deliberately not going too deep, but putting various approaches in context.' - Ted Baker, University of Auckland
• 'The writing is good and clear. The book should have a considerable market. There is a need for an advanced treatment such as this.' - Mike Glazer, University of Oxford

• Provide students with the background knowledge to comprehend the exciting advances in modern inorganic chemical research.
• Covers many topics that are not usually treated in textbooks.
  
• Point groups and space groups are introduced, and symmetry concepts are utilized in the discussion of molecular systems and crystal structures.
• "Computational Chemistry" and "Supramolecular Structural Chemistry" are included to reflect their increasing importance in contemporary research.
• Promotes an understanding of modern chemical crystallography among the scientific community.
