Synopsis

This book, an exploration of the relationship between the structure of crystals and the chemical composition of the substances that form them, presents a century's worth of research by the author. Turning prevailing knowledge on its head, this book shows that there is a direct correlation between the angles of crystals and the atomic weights and chemical order of the substances that comprise them. These groundbreaking findings reconcile two schools of thought—one focused on the geometry of crystals; the other on the chemistry of crystals—that had been regarded as contradictory. The significance of the author's work cannot be overstated, as it provides a new depth of understanding of the composition of crystals and the structure of matter.
