Gems of Geometry

Gems of Geometry, eh? I tried the Search Inside feature here, and everything seemed pretty good, so I finally went and purchased a copy. There is an astounding amount of great material in this book, all visually enticing, and mathematically deep. Well written explanations, and lots of good facts. Looking through this, I get the idea that a much longer book was outlined first, and then the duller sections were pared away again and again, until a cohesive, exciting mathematical narrative remained, featuring all the best material of modern mathematics. Try out the "Surprise Me" option in Search Inside. If you like those random pages, you'll like the whole book.
