Symmetry underlies almost every aspect of nature and our experience of the world, from the subatomic realms of quantum mechanics to the equations of physics, in art, architecture and our concepts of morality and justice. In this little book Welsh writer and artist David Wade paints a picture of one of the most elusive and pervasive concepts known to man.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Art-wise, Excellent Variety-wise, Too Terse on Explanations,
By
This review is from: Symmetry: The Ordering Principle (Wooden Books) (Hardcover)
I already crammed so much into the title of my review that the title almost says it all. This is a beautiful book to be sure. The book also is full of a variety of content. The price is certainly great for what you get. But being very knowledgeable about most (but not all) of this book, I can say that some of the explanations are too terse for a lay audience. Still there are great facts amidst the text too. I really would like a 4.5 rating, but I give the book a 4 because I think the book tends to make some readers want meatier text / explanation that it provides. But what is there is beautiful and varied in kinds of content.

David Wade makes the difficult concepts appears easy. The beautiful illustrations enhance the graphic presentation. If you have not explored these Wooden books and you like art with conceept, I recommend this one as a start.

give this a miss,
This review is from: Symmetry: The Ordering Principle (Wooden Books) (Hardcover)
A very small book, only the size of a small paperback. As a result all the illustrations reproduce badly and lack detail. information is also very general and feels like a summary.
