Autorenporträt
Günter M. Ziegler, 1963 in München geboren, studierte in München und am MIT Mathematik und wurde mit 31 der jüngste Professor an der TU Berlin. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Leibniz-Preis, dem höchsten deutschen Forschungspreis, sowie dem Communicator-Preis, begann er als Präsident der Mathematiker-Vereinigung und "Jahr der Mathematik"-Initiator eine große Charme-Offensive für sein Fach. Und die setzt er jetzt von der FU Berlin aus fort.
Rezensionen
From the reviews:

"This is an excellent book on convex polytopes written by a young and extremely active researcher." (Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum)

"From the publication of the first printing, in 1994, this book became one of the most widely used textbooks in Discrete Geometry. The reviewer sees at least two reasons for that: the beautiful mathematics presented here, and the fact that the book can be used at a wide variety of levels, for several different courses. ... It is not only students who can benefits from the book. Researchers will find its updates notes and references very helpful." (Miklós Bóna, MathDL, August, 2007)
