3 More specialized monographs
It is difficult to make strict rules for selecting books of interdisciplinary interest. Sometimes works referring to a concrete discipline still have an interdisciplinary importance. For example, a book on crystallographic symmetry groups is useful not only for crystallographers, but also for people interested in solid state physics, crystalphysics, crystalchemistry, materials science, and, in some cases, even for designers. As a general principle: we consider those books that have some importance outside its primary discipline. Following this principle, we include books related to mathematical- physical topics (e.g., theoretical mechanics, quantum theory, particle physics) although many of these books have a limited target among a group of mathematicians and physicists. We also list books on symmetries in various artistic fields, because these could be useful for artists of other fields and scholars who would like to illustrate scientific books with artistic examples. We also include books on dynamic symmetry in design, a proportion-system proposed by Jay Hambidge on the basis of his studies on Greek art, because we witnessed that some aspects of this topic are also interesting for mathematics students (despite the fact that it has less value for the originally targeted artists and art historians). We also list some old books of historic importance (cf., Section 2.1.1 and the references there). Indeed, we think that dealing with the history of the subject is relevant and advanced students may prepare related reports. Although we also include books written by historians of science on various aspects of symmetry (see Section 3.1), we suggest combining these with the original sources. What types of books are not included?
It is not easy to give strict rules, but here are some general conventions.
We do not list books that use the term symmetry or its derivatives
Note that there are cases where
a similar term has great importance in two or more field (e.g., asymmetric
synthesis, a chemical process that also attracted the interest of biologists).
