Opis

Why on earth do cars have the same symmetry as dragonflies? Is there really a beautiful swirling pattern lurking in every dripping tap? What do insect eggs have in common with planets, and why? This book introduces the main principles of symmetry, and shows how symmetry can be found in almost every corner of science, nature and human culture.
