It is simple, quantitative, intuitive, and predictive - no more than a pocket calculator is needed to calculate it. Current Engineering Practice This is the first book to explore the theoretical basis of the model and to show how it can be applied to synthetic and solution chemistry ... neatly crystallizes concepts, precisely defines these concepts and brings to the fore many phenomena that can be described by the bond-valence model. The book is ably supplemented by a list of 300 references. Current Engineering Practice ... there has long been a need for a dedicated monograph on the subject ... a highly readable book about a theory that, though it has long found application in inorganic crystal chemistry, deserves to be used more widely.
