Praised as the greatest geometer of the 20th century, Donald Coxeter influenced not only mathematicians but also M.C. Escher and Buckminster Fuller. In an era when classical geometry was often considered less important than algebra and the abstract forms of mathematics, Donald Coxeter defended it time and again, in a career spanning seven decades. Siobhan Roberts surveys Coxeter\'s many contributions to geometry, while also offering a profile of the man himself.
What emerges loud and clear in King of Infinite Space is that Siobhan Roberts understands Coxeter\'s spirit very deeply. She understands what drove him, and she knows just how to put into words the fire that always inhabits a great mathematician's soul. — Douglas Hofstadter.
