In 1912 Lawrence Bragg explained the interaction of X-rays with crystals, and he and his father (William) thereby pioneered X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. This book charts how this humble pair (William English, hisson Australian) rose from obscurity to international prominence and then back to current, undeserved obscurity.
