 The Facts on File Geometry Handbook (The Facts on File Science Handbooks)Geometry is the study of shape, form, and space, and is of interest for its own sake as well as for its many applications in the sciences and the arts. Geometry is an integral part of mathematics, drawing upon all other areas in its development, and in turn contributing to the development of other parts of mathematics.

And nowhere does this terror translate to blind acceptance of authority more than in the slippery world of averages, correlations, graphs, and trends. Huff sought to break through "the daze that follows the collision of statistics with the... | | How to Lie with MapsOriginally published to wide acclaim, this lively, cleverly illustrated essay on the use and abuse of maps teaches us how to evaluate maps critically and promotes a healthy skepticism about these easy-to-manipulate models of reality. Monmonier shows that, despite their immense value, maps lie. In fact, they must.
