Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First English-language edition of A. V. Shubnikov and V. A. Koptsik's substantial interdisciplinary study of symmetry, translated from the expanded Russian edition and edited by crystallographer David Harker. The authors examine symmetry and antisymmetry in crystallography, geometry, physics, mathematics, natural forms, architecture, ornament, decorative design, and the visual arts. The book is particularly important for its treatment of dichromatic and polychromatic symmetry and for making work from the Russian school of color symmetry available to English-language readers. Translated from the 1972 Russian edition, itself developed from Shubnikov's earlier work on the laws of symmetry and their applications. Extensively illustrated. xxv, 420 pages. Detailed Condition: Good condition without dust jacket.

Dust jacket in Mylar jacket protector, text unmarked.; B&W Illustrations; 8.60 X 6.40 X 1.50 inches; 420 pages; "The perception of symmetry in art and in nature has been appreciated since antiquity, with development of the underlying laws tracing back at least to Pythagorean times. By the end of the eighteenth century it was realized that the immense variety of natural crystal shapes could be accounted for on the basis of a rather small number of symmetry operations, of which some were equally applicable to biological systems. The mathematical theory of symmetry continued to mature throughout the last century, culminating in the independent discoveries in Russia, Germany, and England that a total of only 230 independent ways exist in which the operations of rotation, reflection, and translation can be combined to transform three-dimensional geometrical objects into themselves. Derivation of the 230 space groups depends ultimately on restricting the meaning of symmetry to that of a property of purely geometrical figures. A. V. Shubnikov and his collaborators, over the past three decades, expanded this concept of symmetry to include the sign of transformation operations.". …

Bibliotheksexemplar mit Signaturschild und Stempeln, ein gutes Exemplar / Library copy with signature label and stamps, a good copy - Cotents: Introduction - From Intuitive Concepts to the Definition of Symmetry -- Symmetry of One-Sided Rosettes -- Symmetry of Figures with a Singular Point -- Symmetry of One-Sided Bands -- Symmetry of Two-Sided Bands -- Symmetry of Rods -- Symmetry of Network Patterns - Two-Dimensional Continua and Semicontinua -- Symmetry of Layers -- Symmetry of Three-Dimensional Spaces - Discontinua and Continua -- Elements of Group Theory - The Classical Crystallographic Groups -- Groups of Generalized Symmetry - Antisymmetry and Colored Symmetry -- Symmetry in Science and Art - Conservation Laws - Symmetrization and Dissymmetrization of Physical Systems - Principle of Symmetry for Composite Systems. - A beautifully illustrated book of wide interest to modern science, this brilliant work offers a trenchant analysis of the symmetry method for revealing the invariants of transformations and for describing the inner structure of materials and ideal systems. -- The volume presents clear expositions of the theory of expansions, the derivation of limiting groups of color symmetry, and color tensors. 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.
