Euclid's Window: The Story of Geometry from Parallel Lines to Hyperspace by Leonard MlodinowMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The beginning is a history of geometry. Then it becomes more of a popular physics and history of physics book. It’s difficult to understand and often boring. (The section on Hypatia was so interesting though. I'd love to read more about her.) It’s interesting in its focus on why geometry is important to physics and to our greater understanding of the world. But it is not a roaring success as a book for laymen. Glad to have a geometry book in my science collection though!
