Non-Euclidean Geometry

by Stefan Kulczycki, Stanislaw Knapowski (Translator)

This accessible approach features two varieties of proofs: stereometric and planimetric, as well as elementary proofs that employ only the simplest properties of the plane. A short history of geometry precedes a systematic exposition of the principles of non-Euclidean geometry, from fundamental principles to the finer points. 1961 edition.

I confess, I'm giving up about half way through. The historical bits in this book were interesting, and the mathy bits to do with Euclidean geometry were more or less intelligible. But the ones to do with non-Euclidean geometry are increasingly less intelligibly conveyed -- at least not sufficiently to merit this reader's continuing effort. In due course, I'll seek out better books on this subject.
