Reviews

'develops a comprehensive group-theoretic approach to affine, projective and inversive geometry ... It ends with a fascinating chapter on the group theory behind the Rubik cube.' Ian Stewart, New Scientist 'Both parts contain a number of exercises that will be invaluable to any reader wishing to gain a fuller understanding of this area of mathematics.' Extrait de L'Enseignement Mathematique, T. 40 1994 The book can be recommended warmly for any interested reader. Monatshefte fur Mathematik No.3 1996. delightful book ... The group theory is directed towards group actions, but all the basic material is there. Mathematika, 41 (1994)
