Summary:
"Symmetry permeates our existence from end to end. It was born in space and on Earth long before the emergence of human civilization - the Solar system is proof of this. After man began conscious existence, he became imbued with natural symmetry in space and time. He also began to create symmetrically arranged things in his environment and events in his behavior. In the end, symmetry has become integral to human life, society, and our consciousness"-- Provided by publisher.
