Recenzii
'The whole of theoretical physics, and our general picture of the world, are based on symmetries. This book is devoted to symmetries and their manifestations in nature, and it allows students to develop a theoretical and experimental understanding of the fundamental properties of the Universe. This path is carefully paved by the authors.' Professor Vladimir Zelevinsky, Michigan State University
