2.0 out of 5 stars
Not for serious geometry students,

This review is from: Essentials of Geometry for College Students (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
I only own a copy of the first edition (1990), but unless adding a new author (Brown) or drastically changing the text has greatly improved anything, the book doesn't try for much more than its title indicates. Like many other college introductory geometry texts, this isn't much more than high-school-level geometry without all the colorful pictures and stories that are supposed to make the topic fun and show the application of geometry to our lives (making this book about a third the size of most high school texts).
This book is not bad, and is probably fine for the student who just needs a basic understanding of Euclidean plane geometry (with chapters on solid and analytical geometry, and trig). Many of the theorems are proved (two-column proofs). The exercises are more into reinforcing the chapter contents (solving numerical problems and showing concept understanding) than in exploring new material and applications. For authors that introduce a more rigorous approach, and show how beautiful geometry can be; try Coxeter and Posamentier.
