Summary:

This book is a mixture of textbook and tutorial. As Guide to SHELXL it covers advanced aspects of practical crystal structure refinement, which have not been addressed by textbooks so far. In each of the chapters the book gives examples, describing every problem in detail. It comes with a CD-ROM with all files necessary to reproduce the refinements. - ;Crystal Structure Refinement is a mixture of textbook and tutorial.
