《现代晶体学(第1卷)晶体学基础:对称性和结构晶体学方法》原著俄文版和英文版近乎同时出版，出版后曾在整个学术界引起了很大反响.1 994年《现代晶体学》卷1英文扩展第2版出版，1994年和2000年分别出版了《现代晶体学》卷2英文扩展第2版和第3版。 《现代晶体学(第1卷)晶体学基础:对称性和结构晶体学方法》为卷1，主要由物质晶态的一般特征、晶体对称性和晶体结构研究方法3个部分组成，着重介绍了晶体学基本概念、物质晶态特征、晶体对称性理论、晶体多面体外形几何理论和晶体点阵的几何理论以及晶体原子结构实验研究方法等。 《现代晶体学(第1卷)晶体学基础:对称性和结构晶体学方法》可供固体物理、材料科学、金属学、矿物学、化学等专业的大学生、研究生作为教材或教学参考书，并可供有关科技人员参考。

《现代晶体学(第2卷):晶体的结构》主要内容包括：晶体结构的形成原理，系统介绍了化学键、晶体化学半径系和晶体结构的几何规则；晶体结构的主要类型，系统介绍了无机晶体、有机晶体、聚合物、液晶和生物大分子的结构；晶体的能带结构；点阵动力学和相变；实际晶体的结构，主要介绍晶体缺陷，包括点缺陷、位错、层错、亚晶界、孪晶等。

And so it begins: a bet between the gods Hermes and Apollo leads them to grant human consciousness and language to a group of dogs overnighting at a Toronto veterinary clinic. Suddenly capable of more complex thought, the pack is torn between those who resist the new ways of thinking, preferring the old 'dog' ways, and those who embrace the change. The gods watch from above as the dogs venture into their newly unfamiliar world, as they become divided among themselves, as each struggles with new thoughts and feelings. Wily Benjy moves from home to home, Prince becomes a poet, and Majnoun forges a relationship with a kind couple that stops even the Fates in their tracks. André Alexis's contemporary take on the apologue offers an utterly compelling and affecting look at the beauty and perils of human consciousness. By turns meditative and devastating, charming and strange, Fifteen Dogs shows you can teach an old genre new tricks.
