This review is from: The Foundations Of Geometry (Paperback)
This is the first book ever to present the axiomatic foundations of euclidean geometry. The first edition appeared in the nineties of the nineteenth century.
Most of the book can be read and appreciated by someone who is mature in elementary euclidean geometry (in fact the material was originally conceived to be used in a summer school for mathematics teachers in Germany). If you expect to find a treatment that will fill up all the gaps in the elementary books you will be disappointed, it does not. If you are looking for a text that does fill all the gaps try to get a copy Forders' book The foundations of Euclidean geometry,. This edition is not based on the last German edition that is available and does not contain the appendices by Hilbert and the supplements by Paul Bernays, so as a text on the foundations of euclidean geometry it is not useless but it is surely crippled. I do not dare to give a book with Hilberts name on it less than five stars.
