Reviews

'This is a textbook that demonstrates the excitement and beauty of geometry ... richly illstrated and clearly written.' Extrait de L'Enseignement Mathematique ' ... this is a remarkable and nicely written introduction to classical geometry.' Zentralblatt MATH ' ... could form the basis of courses in geometry for mathematics undergraduates. It will also appeal to the general mathematical reader.'
