The book Symmetry, talks about symmetry in the history of human civilization, and how groups arise in the the study of symmetry. A great read with a lot of food for thought.
Here is what Scientific American has to say about the book:
Dr. Weyl presents a masterful and fascinating survey of the applications of the principle of symmetry in sculpture, painting, architecture, ornament, and design; its manifestations in organic and inorganic nature; and its philosophical and mathematical significance.
