Really small in content, but concentrate in depth. I enjoyed and learned a lot. But also makes me feel that I want to learn a lot more than said.
I knew about the five Platonic solids, but never gave much thought to solids that used more than one regular polygon. I then wondered about the Soccer ball. What was it called? What class of solids? I learned it was called a truncated icosahedron and that it belonged to the Archimedean solids. And there are thirteen of them. This little book is a great intro to P & A solids and other kinds as well.
Cute little book that outlines the properties of three dimensional platonic and archimedean solids with lovely illustrations.
