‘The Language of Symmetry takes the reader on a fascinating interdisciplinary tour of the various different ways in which both classical symmetry and the order-chaos dichotomy are understood to apply in hugely diverse contexts… The book makes it abundantly clear, and in an engaging manner, that a synergy and even an interdependency between order and chaos underlies many aspects of the Universe.’  Peter L Read, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Oxford University

‘This is, without doubt, a stimulating and challenging book. It presents novel (even outrageous) concepts and produces evidence to support them. It challenges some of our mostly deeply embedded notions of how nature works at all levels… A brave attempt to elevate the ideas of order, disorder, and stochasticity to the level that they deserve. This is a book to be read and re-read slowly and to be thought about deeply.’  Ken Peach, Emeritus Professor of Physics, Oxford University

'Finding that there is a fundamental symmetry between order and disorder that can run through all our explanations is like discovering a clarification that was always waiting there to be revealed.’ BigThink: A Surprise New Theory of Everything

‘A remarkable book that releases an intellectual depth charge. It will go bang but there will need to be time and exposure to know what submarines it hits and what flotsam and jetsam float to the surface as a result… There is an almost comic degree to which a tiny book review can’t convey what has been achieved here.’  QUAD: The Oxford Alumni Journal
