Summary
This title takes a fresh approach to the teaching of discrete symmetries which are central to fundamental physics: mirror symmetry, matter/anti-matter symmetry, and time reversal. It includes detailed discussions of relevant experiments - conveying some of the fascination and intellectual challenges of experimental physics
