In addition, the dissymmetrization principle of Pierre Curie is joined with the newly discovered principle of symmetrization to form a single symmetry principle of composite systems. The final chapter provides an intriguing study of the relevance of group theory to the symmetry (harmony) of art and music. A work of major significance, this well-designed volume is not only essential reading, but will offer many hours of pleasure for professionals and students alike.
