Dec 10, 2013 - There's a sort of symmetry that is called “chiral”: it's when two things are the mirror of each other (your hands, for example: they're the same, but they're not superimposable). Jul 17, 2008 - The Symmetries of Things by John H. Feb 10, 2013 - The Symmetries of Things John H. It is a beautiful edition with great pictures.
