PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
This short book on a vast subject is the work of a master. With a few sure and authoritative words [Weyl] gives us the heart of the matter. There is no book ... quite like this one on the subject of symmetry and I doubt if any book will be written in the future that will not in some way lean upon this one...[I]t contains so much besides mathematics that it can still be read with profit and enjoyed by someone who has not advanced beyond long division. --John Tyler Bonner, Science Dr. Weyl presents a masterful and fascinating survey of the applications of the principle of symmetry in sculpture, painting, architecture, ornament, and design; its manifestations in organic and inorganic nature; and its philosophical and mathematical significance. --Scientific American Weyl offers deep insight into [the concept of symmetry], its foundations in group theory, its applications in physics, chemistry, and biology, and its role in art. --Manfred Eigen and Ruthild Winkler in Laws of the Game Vivid and picturesque... [Weyl is] an outstanding thinker. --Wolfgang Yourgrau, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
