- The New Ambidextrous Universe: Symmetry and asymmetry from Mirror Reflections to Superstrings is a substantial revision of Gardner's well.known work on mirror symmetry and asyymetry. The book opens with puzzling questions on why mirrors reverse left to right but not up and down, and then takes the reader on an extraordinary journey through two fundamental scientific discoveries of our century: the asymmetric DNA helix and the overthrow of parity (left-right symmetry) in particle physics.
