-Highlights from the history of geometry are intertwined withexplanations on how to read and write proofs.

-This is the first book to present the works of Euclid andHilbert in addition to other geometers in chronological order, allin an effort to show how the subject matter developed overtime.

-Hints and both partial and complete solutions are includedat the end of the book as an aid for selected exercises.

-This book develops ideas with careful attention to logic andfollows the development of the field through time.

-An Instructor s Solutions Manual is available uponrequest.
