Worlds Out of Nothing: A Course in the History of Geometry in the 19th Century - Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series 2 Revised edition

Based on the latest historical research, Worlds Out of Nothing is the first book to provide a course on the history of geometry in the 19th century. The final part of the book considers how projective geometry rose to prominence, and looks at Poincare's ideas about non-Euclidean geometry and their physical and philosophical significance.
