Summary: Invaluable for enriching Geometry courses
Review: I was asked to enrich a school geometry course. Not much came off the top of my head. After discovering this book, I had so many leads I can enrich for years! It gave an insight into every topic covered in the standard course. It adds so much for those who want to teach more than just a method to get an answer.

Summary: A Definite 5 Star Book
Review: This book is full of wonderful theorems and other facts about geometry. But don't miss an equally wonderful book of his - The Penguin Dictionary of Curious and Interesting Numbers. When I semi-retired several years ago, I gave away many of my math books, but I would not part with these two.

Summary: Excellently researched encyclopedia of Geometry
Review: This is my favorite David Wells book. Scads of illustrations motivate hundreds of interesting branches of Geometry. Much of the information in the book was new to me, such as the 14th tiling pentagon. This well-researched book is top-notch.
