Abstract
THE increasing interest manifested in problems of surface and molecular structure is sufficient justification for the appearance of this very clear and well-balanced little monograph, quite apart from the excellent practical illustration which it gives of the principles of wave mechanics. In the scope of a hundred pages, the author has discussed electron wave properties, the early history of the experimental side of the subject, diffraction by transmission and by reflection, apparatus and technique, and the principal types of problem suited to investigation by electron diffraction. The book may be strongly recommended as a most useful review of the subject.
