Tutton is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book aims to make crystallography accessible to the general public, providing an overview of the fascinating phenomena associated with crystals, particularly the beauty of their structures and behaviors under polarized light. It discusses various topics, including the growth processes of crystals and the theoretical underpinnings of crystallography without delving into complex mathematics or jargon. The opening of "Crystals" introduces the concept that crystals, while often seen as mere solid forms, exhibit characteristics similar to living organisms, such as growth and recovery after damage. It emphasizes the idea that crystals can regrow in favorable conditions, drawing parallels between their growth processes and the regenerative abilities found in biological organisms. Tutton illustrates these concepts with examples of quartz crystals, describing how they can develop from disintegrated pieces over time if introduced back into an environment conducive to crystallization. The author sets the stage for exploring various aspects of crystallography, including the historical development of the field and significant figures who contributed to our understanding of crystal formation and structure.
