Crystal Clear
The Autobiographies of Sir Lawrence and Lady Bragg
Crystal Clear takes you behind the scenes in the life of one of the most prominent scientists of the twentieth century, William Lawrence Bragg (WLB) - an innovative genius, who together with his father, William Henry Bragg (WHB) founded and developed a whole new branch of science, X-ray Crystallography. The main body of the text contains the hitherto unpublished autobiographies of both WLB and his wife, Alice. Alice Bragg was a public figure in her own right. Shewas Mayor of Cambridge and National Chairman of the Marriage Guidance Council among other roles. She and WLB were as different as chalk and cheese. Their autobiographies compleme…

Über den Autor
A.M. Glazer is Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Oxford, UK, and Visiting Professor at the University of Warwick, UK. He is also Vice-President of the International Union of Crystallography. His PhD research between 1965 and 1968 was under the supervision of Kathleen Lonsdale at University College London, UK, working on the crystallography of organic mixed crystals. In 1968-1969 he was a Fellow at Harvard University, USA, and then from 1969 to 1976he was at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, UK. In 1976 he was appointed Lecturer in Physics at the Clarendon Laboratory Oxford and as an Official fellow and Tutor at Jesus College Oxford, UK. Glazer's research has mainly been in understanding the relationship between physical properties ofcrystals and their structures. He is perhaps best known for his classification system for tilted octahedra in perovskites.Patience Thomson is the daughter of William Lawrence Bragg and Alice Grace Jenny Bragg. She is the Co-Founder and former Chairman of the publishing company Barrington Stoke, producing books for less able readers. Previously she was Principle of Fairley House School in London, UK.
