At the November 1989 annual meetings of the Mineralogical Society of America and the Geological Society of America in St. Louis, D. L. Bish and J. E. Post convened a short course on advanced methods in powder diffractometry. The course con- tent has been published as one of the Reviews in Mineralogy series familiar to subscriboa's to American Mineralogist. Powder diffraction is currently one of the most excit- ing subfields of crystallography. Recent advances in light sources, instrumentation and software have greatly increased the amount of information available from a powder diffrac- togram. The authors seek to illustrate the state of the art in powder diffraction, to describe how to obtain high-quality powder diffraction data and to demonstrate how to
