Title: Uneven Handling of Symmetry from Mathematical and Aesthetic Perspectives
Product review: This is a hack job by someone who is clearly interested in the subject matter, but handles it very unevenly. The book begins with the question of why symmetry is significant from an aesthetic perspective, but then gives a mathematical explanation of symmetry (primarily the contributions of group theory), mixed with some choppy, historically dubious biographies of the involved mathematicians that go far off track, and then makes a poor attempt to tie the book together in the end.
