IUCr 1999 Triennial Report - Volume B. Reciprocal Space; Editor U. Shmueli

The First Edition of Volume B was published in 1993, a Corrected Reprint appeared in 1996 and the work on the Second Edition was at a fairly advanced stage during the Seattle Congress. The editorial work on the Second Edition was completed during the triennium 1996—1998. All the material received from the authors is in the hands of the Technical Editor in Chester.

As pointed out in previous annual reports, the publication of the Second Edition of Volume B (as well as other volumes of International Tables) was delayed by the recently undertaken translation of the Tables to Standard Generalised Mark-up Language (SGML) which will facilitate their access through a variety of electronic media.

We summarise here all the major revisions in the First Edition of Volume B, and the newly incorporated contributions to the Second.
