Recenzii
Well written, clear and informative.
This delightful book should be available, at the minimum, in every high school library and in every public library.
It would make an ideal addition both to readers' bookshelves and for every school library.
Everything was explained clearly and concisely so that the wonders of geometry could definitely be seen.
Don't Miss: The Wonder Book of Geometry is full of pretty surprises...
Give this to a curious teenager and they will fall in love with geometry.
David Acheson has set geometry free from the confines of stuffy textbooks and lets loose its potential to surprise and delight. Theres a rich and ancient history to be found in these pages, and a future for the field that extends beyond neat (yet elegant) equations.
This is by far the most approachable book on geometry I've ever read, and I wish it had been around in my day... if you need to learn the basics of geometry for whatever reason (there must be several reasons, surely) then this blows every known textbook on the topic out of the water... The Wonder Book of Geometry does what it does wonderfully. Acheson has done a remarkable job.
Anyone who has read David's earlier books will instantly recognise his almost playful style... I highly recommend it as a marvellous source book on geometry.
There is no better tour guide to the wonders of geometry than the delightful David Acheson.
