Summary
Revised edition of a survey of chemistry from the point of view of symmetry, presenting many examples from chemistry and other fields in order to emphasize the unifying nature of the concept of symmetry. After the introduction, the simplest symmetries are presented using chemical and nonchemical examples. Molecular geometry is then discussed in qua.
