Résumé :	This is an excellent historical and mathematical view by a renowned italian geometer of the geometries that have arisen from a rejection of the geometries that have arisen from a rejection of euclid's parallel postulate. Students, teachers and mathematicians will find her a ready reference source and guide to a fiels that has now become overwhelmingly important.
Note de contenu :	Au sommaire : 1. The attempts to prove euclid's parallel postulate. 2. The formerunners of non-euclidean geometry. 3. The founders of non-euclidean geometry. 4. The later development of nan-euclidean geometry.
