This book is a splendid collection of chapters by well-known experts in the field of synchrotron x-ray diffraction. It is refreshing to see a diffraction-only version of x-ray physics because there are many more books available on x-ray spectroscopy. The chapters correspond almost exactly to a complete list of beamlines at one of our present-day facilities, so I recommend it wholeheartedly to students embarking on research at one of the world's synchrotron laboratories. -Prof. Ian Robinson, University College London, UK Synchrotron sources and synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques have undergone explosive growth in the last decade. It is therefore very timely to have this new collection of up-to-date reviews of the various types of x-ray scattering experiments being carried out at synchrotron facilities by experts in the field. -Prof. Sunil K. Sinha, University of California San Diego, USA This book is an ideal textbook for graduate and undergraduate students in order to learn the state-of-the-art techniques from simple diffraction experiments to short-pulse free electron laser applications. I will certainly use this book for my lectures on x-ray physics. -Prof. Metin Tolan, Technische Universitaet Dortmund, Germany
