This book’s major strength is its clever combination of challenge, clarity, and instruction to teach ideas. The concepts are so clearly presented that students can easily learn them and the skillfully done illustrations augment the book’s clarity. Each step of instruction is included and labeled so that the student will not miss some crucial step in their thinking. Multiple paths to the solution of a problem are presented so that the student learns alternative ways of thinking about that concept. This variation and the easy to understand style of writing makes this book interesting and an intellectually stimulating read.
I highly recommend “Euclidean and Transformational Geometry” to all math instructors at the middle school, high school and college levels. Not only has reading it and doing the problems myself greatly enhanced my own understanding of geometry, it has made the subject become beautifully alive for me and the students I share it with. It is a book I cannot imagine being without.
