One can again only admire the work completed by Werner Hahn. One does not need to agree with all his conclusions to state, that partly he collected a wonderful set of facts, presented together, and made intellectual connections among them, partly he added his own observations and conclusions that adds statically important bricks to the building of symmetrology. (…) The book demonstrates - over his knowledge on the arts - his deep knowledge in biology and evolution theories.” In www.worldcatlibraries.org liest man, dass – bis heute (08/2008) – das Buch in 58 Bibliotheken der USA zu finden ist. Interessant sind die Hinweise in WIKIPEDIA - Artikel Symmetrie - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrie: Literatur-Hinweis mit dem Vermerk: „Diese Sammlung von Fakten und Erkenntnissen aus allen Disziplinen versucht, am Thema Symmetrie die Einheit der Wissenschaften zu demonstrieren“. Zu Hahns “Symmetry as a developmental principle in nature and art – Singapore (World Scientific, 1998 – xxi, 510 p., 10 p. of col. Plates : ill. (some col.) ; 31 cm) ist bedeutsam: The present edition is the original version of the work (Hahn 1989: Symmetrie als Entwicklungsprinzip in Natur und Kunst) translated into English without alternations … However, Chapter 13 … has been added … so that a supplement had to be made to the subject index, the outhor index and the bibliography”.
