Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Since it became commonly available to the scientific community in the early 1980s, the use of techniques employing this form of electromagnetic radiation has proliferated, and is having significant impact on areas of the physical and biological sciences. This book surveys some of the applications of synchrotron radiation, with a strong emphasis on chemistry and materials science. Authors use only essential mathematics, concentrate on practical applications, and indicate future directions. Acidic paper. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
