Industry Reviews
[A]n entertaining exploration of how the laws of symmetry have shaped our chaotic little world, and how they inform our appreciation of art and music....Livio's history is elegant but...not for the innumerate or scientifically faint of heart....[A] complicated tale, with learned asides on the nature of creativity...."
Kirkus (06/01/2005)
"[M]athematical symmetry is much too difficult for most laypeople to understand. But this engaging treatise soft-pedals it in a crowd-pleasing way....[A]strophysicist Livio...keeps the hard stuff to a minimum, concentrating instead on interesting digressions into human interest...,strategies for finding a soul mate and some easy math puzzles readers might actually solve."
