Mathematics as it lives
I will try to keep my admiration for this subject short. Euclid was the father of all modern Mathematics as the founder of the axiomatic system, and is still renowned for methods like the Euclidean Algorithm, ... thelist goes on virtually forever.

His greatest achievement however was towrite up "Everything" known to his world in mathematics,structure it and so pave the way for further discoveries, something, whichtoday's time could also do with.

The book is incredibly scholarly (although a knowledge of Latin is vital and Classical Greek very veryhelpful ), it is still mathematics in its finest form ! ... Read more

Readers can use it to see the scope and structure of Elements, identify exactly what Euclid covers and what he doesn't, and to find the location of remembered propositions. The Table of Contents lists the subject matter of each book, number of propositions, and locations of definitions, to further assist the reader in seeing the scope and structure of Elements and to examine Euclid's treatment of specific areas. Equally at home in backpack or pocket, on desk or bedside table, it has enjoyable possibilities limited only by your imagination. ... Read more

Euclid: The Bones

If you have any interest in Euclid's Elements of Geometry, then this will, I believe, interest you also. It is the Elements without the proofs. It is Heath's translation without his commentary. The design of the book is elegant. The layout is clear and clean. The diagrams have been redrawn and the fonts are crisp and inviting. The cover is durable and the pages are sewn in. The book fits well in the hands. It is a paperback the way paperbacks ought to be made. And it is Euclid. What more do you want?

Great reviewing tool for the Elements
I love the elements, but because of its size, I can only read it at home, which slows me down a lot.
With this book you can bring the Elements with you everywhere. It's quite small, and thin too. I've found it very useful as a learning and reviewing tool; The format (diagram and enunciation without the proof), let you see right away if you understand each proposition. For those you understand, it's immediately obvious as the proof comes to your mind while looking at the diagram. For those you don't, it's really fun to try and come up with the proof, given the diagram is a major tip. whether you succeed or fail, it's a thrill to go back to the Full Elements, and read Euclid's proof, As your understanding is deeper. Another fun exercise when you are familiar with a proposition is trying to prove it in your mind with just the proposition. So many way to use this book, I'm wondering why no one had the idea before. With, this you Can master this timeless classic in a fun way.

A great companion to a great book
Euclid's "Elements" is easily one of the most important books ever assembled and "Bones" is a summary whose quality is unlikely to be surpassed. The diagrams and text are logically laid out, the printing is clear, and the cover and binding are very sturdy. Obviously a lot of effort and care went into producing this companion volume, and any fan of Euclid would be well-served by it.

Arguably the most significant 200 pages of published mathematics now in existence
This is one of those books that should be in every mathematical library, academic and personal. It contains a distillation of "Euclid's Elements"; all the common notions, definitions, postulates, and propositions. All that is missing are the proofs. As such, it is the best quick geometry reference in existence and has been placed on my reference shelf where it will remain until it is wore out and I need to purchase another copy. I would argue that it is the most significant 200 pages of published mathematics now in existence.
