Synopsis
This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition. The Second Edition retains all the characterisitcs that made the first edition so popular: brilliant exposition, the flexibility permitted by relatively self--contained chapters, and broad coverage ranging from topics in the Euclidean plane, to affine geometry, projective geometry, differential geometry, and topology.

The book also includes an 'explanation' of phyllotaxis, an 'ordered' treatment of Sylvester's problem, an economical system of axioms for affine geometry, an 'absolute' treatment of rotation groups, an elementary treatment of the horosphere and the extreme ternary quadratic form. The author describes the correction of a prevalent error concerning the shape of the monkey saddle, an application of
