In the recent half century symmetry (and symmetry breaking) became a leading principle in physics, and in all sciences that deal with the structure of matter (like particle physics, high energy physics, structural chemistry, theory of valences); as well as in biochemistry of proteins, in the study of the genetic code, in brain research (where functional asymmetries have been revealed) and their consequences in the education/learning process, in psychology; and also in developing architectural structures, and business decision making, to mention only a few examples. The book is looking for the common regularities beyond these apparently distant phenomena. It covers most achievements reached in the sciences, to which science-art mutual influences along symmetry (or just its lack) gave a new impetus in the recent decades.Darvas, György is the author of 'Symmetry Cultural-historical and Ontological Aspects of Science-arts Relations, the Natural and Man-made World in an Interdisciplinary Approach', published 2007 under ISBN 9783764375546 and ISBN 376437554X.
