Symmetry : Cultural-historical and Ontological Aspects of Science-Arts Relations

Bok av György. Darvas
The first comprehensive book on the topic in half a century explores recent symmetry - and symmetry breaking - related discoveries, and discusses the questions and answers they raise in diverse disciplines: particle and high-energy physics, structural chemistry and the biochemistry of proteins, in genetic code study, in brain research, and also in architectural structures, and business decision making, to mention only a few examples.
