The book under review is a graduate-level textbook on convexity, which presents the topic from a new and interesting point of view. ... The book offers the reader a new approach to the study of convexity, focusing on the important topics of measures of symmetry and stability. It moves from the very beginning background to recent research, and therefore both students and researchers can benefit from it. (Maria A. Hernandez Cifre, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2016) This is a graduate-level textbook on convex geometry in finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces, which has some interesting special features. ... Each chapter has illustrating figures and concludes with exercises ... . The book has a surprising appendix, where certain of the symmetry measures are applied to convex bodies ... . This book is an unconventional introduction to convexity, full of appealing intuitive geometry; it may equally well serve the beginner and the experienced researcher in the field.
