Review
' ... I would recommend this book to anyone who likes geometry; whatever level of experience you have with geometry, you are likely to enjoy the presentation of such a variety of geometrical ideas by the many prestigious authors.' Eureka
'... this book impresses from a first look and never fails to amaze, entertain, educate and inform ... this is a book that inspires, and part of the inspiration is that it contains what is probably Coxeter's last piece of writing on geometry. This is one reason amongst so many to buy this book. The Changing Shape of Geometry is, as it intends, a celebration and deserves celebrating as a masterly achievement.' Mathematics in School
'The book will provide many hours of enjoyment for any ehtusiast.' EMS Newsletter
