Reviews

This also visually very appealing book offers a wealth of geometric information together with the historical background. The author takes the reader onto a long and engrossing journey to 11 well-selected basic sites of classical and modern geometry. Geometric intuition and facility in proofs are developed. Visualization by the use of dynamic geometry software is included in many exercises and projects." - Zentrallblatt
