Symmetry in Science: An Introduction to the General… af Joseph Rosen
Revision and expansion of author's A Symmetry Primer for Scientists (Wiley 1983; TR, November 1983). Theory and scientific applications of symmetry. Starts with group theory; develops a general symmetry formalism; ends with a conceptual discussion. Most core material is accessible to undergraduate science major.
Substance: Argues for the anthropic principle as a scientific explanatory principle (although he changes POV in ch. 8). However, totally rejects the use of any subjective mode of explanation in those areas where the scientific method is operable.
Style: Summaries and bibliographies at the end of each chapter are useful.

The author attempts to provide a grand unified theory of symmetry in science.
This is a fine ambition, but the execution is disappointing.
The first problem is that the author tries to provide two tracks in one, one slightly math based, the other even simpler, and the result constantly jars.
Even if just one of these tracks is considered, the book feels padded. The author should either have stripped out the excess verbiage and given us a slimmer book, or bitten the bullet and made it more mathematical.
I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't, and I don't think I got much useful out of it.… (mere)
