Symmetry comes of age : the role of pattern in culture
"This is the companion volume to the authors' Symmetries of Culture: Theory and Practice of Plane Pattern Analysis, the classic reference for symmetry analysis of pattern for anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians, mathematicians, and designers. Central to symmetry analysis is the use of symmetry in the more precise sense of its geometrical isometries in contrast to its everyday meaning of balance. In this volume, Donald Crowe and Dorothy Washburn invited colleagues from several disciplines to apply the method of symmetry analysis to actual case studies from cultures around the world."
