Using only three simple tools--the string, the straightedge and the shadow--men discovered the basic principles and constructions of elementary geometry more than 2,000 years ago. This engrossing book reveals how these discoveies were made and shows how theywere related to the early civilizatins of Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. You will be fascinated with the graphic illustrations and written depiction of how the knowledge and wisdome of so many cultures helped shape our civilization today.
