This Amazingly Symmetrical World

Here is a fascinating and nontechnical introduction to the ubiquitous effects of symmetry. Starting with geometrical elements of symmetry, the author reveals the beauty of symmetry in the laws of physics, biology, astronomy, and chemistry. He shows that symmetryand asymmetry form the founda tion of relativity, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and .ato mic, subatomic, and elementary particle physics, and so on.
