Symmetry : A Unifying Concept

Rating:
Summary: A beautiful book
Review: This book is a wonderful book for anyone interested in the subject. It describes the various types of symmetries recognized by mathematics, and shows many examples of each of them, as used in design. It is not very mathematical, in fact, and if you're looking for a book more heavily oriented in that direction, you might be disappointed. But if you want to get a first introduction to symmetry, and treat your eyes to some wonderful illustrations, get this book!

Pictures range from your own back yard (no, really, you'll be amazed at how this book changes your perception of the world around you) to fantastic beautiful images from across the world.. numerous cultures, numerous artifacts, geographical locations, it's a gem. I recommend it as a gift to anyone of any age or just for yourself if you want to go on a fun journey through the world around you and beyond.
