Short description:

Fundamental phenomena and laws of nature are related to symmetry and, accordingly, symmetry is one of science's basic concepts.

Long description:

Fundamental phenomena and laws of nature are related to symmetry and, accordingly, symmetry is one of science's basic concepts. Istvan Hargittai has written and edited extensively on the question of symmetry in chemistry, and he has here assembled some very interesting papers which deal with the question of symmetry as it relates to quasi- crystals, networks and their relationships within a fivefold symmetrical context.

This information will be useful to chemists (particulary organic and computational chemists) in creating new chemical structures for specific new uses.
