What do Schrödinger's wave functions, Escher's intricate tiling patterns and chemistry's latest marvel, buckminsterfullerene, have in common?
This stunning book, written by two world-famous scientists, introduces the reader to one of nature's most fundamental, and ubiquitous, phenomena: Symmetry.
Enormous in scope, this scientific tour-de-force covers topics as diverse as quantum mechanics, stereochemistry, Penrose tilings and Raphael's Madonna. The authors connect these apparently unrelated fields in a completely non-mathematical fashion, which should appeal to the general and specialist reader alike.
Lucidly written and beautifully illustrated, this book provides an eminently readable discussion of the omnipresent concept of symmetry, its application in all branches of science, and its perception in nature, art and elsewhere.

Reflections on Symmetry
This book seems like it's partially a history of science and partially a science textbook. Since I'm not a massive science geek, a lot of it went over my head. When she's discussing the history of scientific revolutions, or the people behind them, I got it; but when she starts going into technical details about the scientists' findings, and their equations, my brain glazed over. Unfortunately, I glazed over more than I got it.
