This lavishly illustrated volume provides a strikingly visual approach to geometric shapes and transformations in 2- ,3- , and 4-dimensional space. Invoking Plato's polygons, Kepler's polyhedra, and Fuller's polytopes, the author presents, by means of hundreds of beautiful illustrations (100 of them in full color), many complex designs which may be found in nature or which may be produced by computer graphics programs. This self-contained work reveals how polygons, polyhedra, and polytopes are effective tools or hieroglyphs with which we may investigate and describe the macro, medio, and micro worlds or the multi-dimensional world without any telescope or microscope and without requiring guidance from others. Forewards by Buckminster Fuller and H. S. W. Coxeter.

How can we be sure that Pythagoras's theorem is really true? Why is the 'angle in a semicircle' always 90 degrees? And how can tangents help determine the speed of a bullet? David Acheson takes the reader on a highly illustrated tour through the history of geometry, from ancient Greece to the present day. He emphasizes throughout elegant deduction and practical applications, and argues that geometry can offer the quickest route to the whole spirit of mathematics at its best. Along the way, we encounter the quirky and the unexpected, meet the great personalities involved, and uncover some of the loveliest surprises in mathematics.
