Revue de presse
' ... 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
'There are many hidden pearls, as well as some new or little-known proofs of well-known theorems, which will delight the enthusiast and convert the geometrophobe.' Mathematika

Original decorated wrappers. Etat : Very Good+. Etat de la jaquette : No Dust Jacket. First Paperback Edition. With illustrations. Light wear to spine, covers & corners. Spine uncreased. ; "The Changing Shape of Geometry: Celebrating a Century of Geometry and Geometry Teaching," edited by Chris Pritchard, is an insightful compilation that explores the evolution of geometry over the past hundred years, focusing on both its theoretical advancements and its pedagogical methods. This book brings together a diverse array of essays written by experts in geometry and education, each discussing significant changes, developments, and perspectives that have shaped the understanding and teaching of geometry. The anthology not only traces the historical and modern advancements in geometric concepts but also delves into the impact of technology and the integration of computer software in geometry education. It provides a thorough examination of the shifts in how geometry is taught in classrooms and how these changes reflect broader educational needs and objectives. "The Changing Shape of Geometry" is a valuable resource for educators, students, and anyone interested in the development of geometric thought and educational practices over time. ; Octavo; xviii, 541 pages.
