Through EUCLID'S WINDOW Leonard Mlodinow brilliantly and delightfully leads us on a journey through five revolutions in geometry, from the Greek concept of parallel lines to the latest notions of hyperspace. Here is an altogether new, refreshing, alternative history of math revealing how simple questions anyone might ask about space -- in the living room or in some other galaxy -- have been the hidden engine of the highest achievements in science and technology.
Review:
"Splendid exposition, accessible to the mathematically challenged as well as the mathematically inclined."
Kirkus, 02/15/2001
Review:" Leonard Mlodinow attempts the difficult task of presenting geometry as a core activity in mathematics, science and human culture, and pulls it off brilliantly...Euclid's Window is a remarkably painless way to discover just how central geometric thinking has been to human culture. Like its subject matter, it is elegant, attractive and concise . . . but also very readable. "
Ian Stewart, New Scientist, 05/12/2001
