Introduction to topology and geometry

the long version

"Covering over two centuries of innovations in many of the central geometrical disciplines, Introduction to Topology and Geometry is the most comprehensive introductory-level presentation of modern geometry currently available." "Using a variety of theorems to tie these seemingly disparate topics together, the author demonstrates the essential unity of mathematics." "A logical yet flexible organization makes the text useful for courses in basic geometry as well as those with a more topological focus, while exercises ranging from the routine to the challenging make the material accessible at varying levels of study."--BOOK JACKET
