The Force of Symmetry
"...provides a good introduction to the importance of symmetry in physics....trylu covers a large amount of material at the conceptual level and appears not to omit any concepts of quantum mechanics or basic relativity...a good supplement or source of review."   E. Kincanon, Choice"Vincent Icke is clearly a master at providing convincing explanations of esoteric ideas....So, who will read it?  Students, certainly, but it will also be enjoyed by all scientists.  In addition, however, it should be read by anyone interested in the history of ideas.  If ever there were to be a book that persuades nonscientists that physics is understandable, even at its most esoteric outer limits, this is it."   Michael Leask, Times Higher Education Supplement
