This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking for a sense of wonder in the geometrical world. It is a small treasure trove of facts and ideas that no one seems to care about in Euclidville.
Did you know that if you take two non-parallel tangents to a circle and make a line going through both of the tangent points, the largest circle that can fit inside that triangle has its center on the curve of the original circle? I sure didn't.
The book is intriguing from the very first page. It does not give equations for all relationships that it illustrates, but is nevertheless a wonderful resource, if you can manage to find a copy. The book's largest asset will be the thought that it inspires, and if you are not looking for a thought-provocer, you will find you book very useless.
