ReviewsFrom the reviews: "The text is written in an accessible and chatty style ... . There is, however, a very conscious effort to engage the reader in active exploration and discovery, and so every topic is introduced as a practical exercise involving equipment which is readily available in every classroom, and the text is peppered with problems and questions for investigation. ... There are so many good things covered in the text that it is hard to pick out one or two." (Gerry Leversha, The Mathematical Gazette, Vol. 86 (505), 2002) "This is an excellent book on geometry written at an elementary level. So the starting point of the book are the basics of Euclidean geometry ... . What comes then is a wealth of examples, exercises and results, always stimulating the reader to make his own experiments, drawings, and conjectures. ... The book is full with nicely drawn pictures thus emphasizing the visual aspect of geometry. A final chapter includes hints and solutions to selected problems and a large number of references." (Hans Havlicek, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 974, 2001)

SynopsisThis text is suitable for introductory students, perhaps in programs such as education, art and architecture. The text contains some traditional material from geometry as well as more innovative topics. Throughout the text, the authors place strong emphasis on pedagogy, hands-on model building, a guided discovery method of learning, etc. Much of the material is written in such a way that it can be used in the classroom for enrichment projects, by prospective mathematics teachers.
