This review is from: Solid Shape (Artificial Intelligence) (Hardcover)
I had a course based on this book in grad school and loved the book. It's a fascinating and intuitive exploration of geometry that actually uses our visual sense to help us understand shape, a big step forward from some other geometry books that somehow manage to avoid using images in their description of shape (?!).

This book is great. As well as an intro to differential geometry, it provides very personalized comentary on the whole of geometric literature. It's as if Mandelbrot wrote Hilbert and Cohen-Voss 's "Geometry and the Imagination." Great Bibliography.
