The purpose of this book is to explain why molecular structure can be determined by single-crystal diffraction of X rays. It is not an account of the practical procedural details, but rather an account of the underlying physical principles, and the kinds of experiments and methods of handling the experimental data that are used.
Jenny Pickworth Glusker took her doctorate at Oxford, before moving to the US for postdoctoral work at the California Institute of Technology in 1955. She is now Senior Member Emeritus at the Institute for Cancer Research, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA, and Adjunct Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA. She has held various senior positions, including President of the American Crystallographic Association (1979), Chair of the U.S. National Committee for Crystallography (1982-1984), and visiting professorships at several universities worldwide. Awards include the Garvan Medal, American Chemical Society (1979), the Public Service Award, American Crystallographic Association (1991) and the Fankuchen Award, American Crystallographic Association (with Ken Trueblood, 1995). Kenneth N. Trueblood took his Ph.D. in chemistry at the California Institute of Chemistry in 1947. He remained at the University of California, Los Angeles until his death in 1998. For his profound influence on beginning chemistry students, he received the first UCLA Distinguished Teaching award (1961) and the national award for excellence in teaching given by the Manufacturing Chemists Association in 1978. For his work he received a Fulbright award (1956-1957), a Guggenheim fellowship (1976-1977), and the Fankuchen Memorial award of the American Crystallographic Assn (1995). He was elected President of the American Crystallographic Association in 1961.
