Very good book, advanced explanations for many things either taken for granted or new perspectives to look at things. Interesting things like impossibility to inscribe heptagon using compass and straightedge, transcendence of e and pi, etc are included with proofs, highly accessible with the presentation style.
Though in my case some topics are not quite understood e.g. Riemann surfaces due to lack of training, nonetheless the book is highly insightful. Recommended for advanced readers or those interested in advanced mathematics.
