Reviews
' … this is a remarkable and nicely written introduction to classical geometry.' Zentralblatt MATH, "There are many things to like about this book. It conveys the beauty and excitement of the subject, avoiding the dryness of many geometry texts. I was very pleased to see the classification of conics developed in Chapters 1 through 4...The effort put in on the problems and answers is very impressive...The language is clear, with little to fear from Anglicisms...presentation is clean and pleasing to the eye...it raised in me a desire to teach elementary geometry again, something I have not felt or done in years." MAA Online, ' … could form the basis of courses in geometry for mathematics undergraduates. It will also appeal to the general mathematical reader.' John Stone, Times Higher Education Supplement, ‘This is a textbook that demonstrates the excitement and beauty of geometry … richly illstrated and clearly written.’Extrait de L’Enseignement Mathématique, 'This is a textbook that demonstrates the excitement and beauty of geometry ... richly illstrated and clearly written.'

It will also appeal to the general mathematical reader.’John Stone, Times Higher Education Supplement, 'This is a textbook that demonstrates the excitement and beauty of geometry … richly illstrated and clearly written.' Extrait de L'Enseignement Mathmatique, "...an excellent and precisely written textbook that should be studied in depth by all would-be mathematicians."

Synopsis
This is a textbook that reveals the intricacies of geometry. It is richly illustrated and clearly written, and it includes full solutions to over 200 problems. Thus it is suitable both for undergraduate courses on geometry and as a resource for self study., This is an undergraduate textbook that reveals the intricacies of geometry. The approach used is that a geometry is a space together with a set of transformations of that space (as argued by Klein in his Erlangen programme). The authors explore various geometries: affine, projective, inversive, non-Euclidean and spherical. In each case the key results are explained carefully, and the relationships between the geometries are discussed. This richly illustrated and clearly written text includes full solutions to over 200 problems, and is suitable both for undergraduate courses on geometry and as a resource for self study.
