From the reviews:
Symmetry Rules is a sophisticated monograph based on the special personal perspective of theoretical physicist Rosen ... . The fundamental notion is that nature may be broken into isolated systems, and that nature may be understood as the sum of its parts. ... The book includes a detailed presentation of group theory, which lends a distinctive view of nature. ... This book belongs in good college libraries. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections. (K. L. Schick, CHOICE, Vol. 46 (01), September, 2008)
