Platonic & Archimedean Solids by Daud Sutton Walker Books, April, 2002. Hardcover, 58 pages. ISBN: 0802713866 Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk 
For those who love the intricacies and exquisite
logic of mathematics and geometry, Platonic
and Archimedean Solids will be an enjoyable reminder
of the possibilities of solid geometry. But for readers
who have not used these particular areas of mathematics
since college, this short and beautiful little volume is
an enjoyable journey through the history of mankind's
discovery and subsequent use of geometry and mathematics
for everything from creating magnificent buildings
to understanding chemistry and atomic physics.
Daud Sutton's beautiful drawings, along with his
clearly written essays on the history and the importance
of each new extension, will interest both mathematician
and general reader alike.
