A collaboration between the artist M C Escher and crystallography researcher Caroline MacGillavry. Escher's periodic drawings beautifully illustrate the principles of symmetry groups, particularly the idea of color symmetry.

From the Introduction: "It is no wonder that X-ray crystallographers, confronted with the ways that nature solves the same problem of packing identical objects in periodic patterns, are interested in Escher's work.
