Washington: National Bureau of Standards, 1972. Price not given. A critical survey of the data describing crystal structure transformations in binary halides has been compiled with data on crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and electrical properties being given for each transforma- tion. Data is given for hydrogen, alkali, ammonia, alkaline earth, transition, rare earth and inert gas halides. This volume is of interest to those involved in many fields of research involving solid-state spectroscopy. Department of Physics University of York Heslington York YO 1 5DD England D. W. G00DWIN
