Críticas
'The topic itself ... is easily visualised and it has a long history as part of our culture, interacting with philosophy, art and chemistry. Cromwell's treatment admirably exploits all these opportunities, with many interesting digressions and a lively historical commentary ... popular exposition at a high level.' Sir Michael Atiyah, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'... plenty to fascinate.' New Scientist
'... Peter Cromwell has done us a great service by writing this handsome, scholarly and beautifully illustrated book.' Peter Giblin, The London Mathematical Society Newsletter
'This remarkable book goes far beyond the superficial, providing a solid and fascinating account of the history and mathematics of polyhedra, especially regular polyhedra. It is likely to become the classic book on the topic.' MAA Online
' ... a fascinating book ... the book holds many surprises and will find rich use among students of both mathematics and computer science.' Choice
' ... a well got-up book with an abundant and beautiful material of illustration. The study of polyhedra, as the author explicitly states, 'is currently enjoying something of a renaissance'. This work itself will surely help this renaissance, and may be an enjoyable reading for a very wide audience.' Acta. Sci. Math.
' ... the book should have a wide and appreciative audience of all ages.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
' ... this book contains a thorough treatment of all that is known about polyhedra ... A very interesting and detailed account.' European Mathematical Society
