Geometry

"[This book] starts with the simple task of dividing up ground for making fields and a building--the word geometry means 'Earth measurement.' It ends by navigating us through new universes constructed entirely from mathematics, strange worlds where curved lines are straight, and a donut and coffee cup are exactly the same shape. Along the way, we'll see just how lines, surfaces, and spaces can add up to reveal other ways of seeing the world"--Back cover.
