The Language of Symmetry is a re-assessment of the structure and reach of symmetry, by an interdisciplinary group of specialists from the arts, humanities, and sciences at Oxford University.

It explores, amongst other topics:

order and chaos in the formation of planetary systems
entropy and symmetry in physics
group theory, fractals, and self-similarity
symmetrical structures in western classical music
how biological systems harness disorder to create order

This book aims to open up the scope of interdisciplinary work in the study of symmetry and is intended for scholars of any background - whether it be science, arts, or philosophy.
