- ^ Review of The symmetries of things, by Phil Wilson, Plus Magazine, December 1, 2008: "The book presents a whole new way of looking at patterns. The methods have been worked out so exhaustively, and the trails opened up in the book have been followed so extensively, that you almost can't believe that such a huge body of knowledge could have lain dormant for so long!"
