What is Regular polytopes. [by] H.S.M. Coxeter about?

Polytopes Are Geometrical Figures Bounded By Portions Of Lines, Planes, Or Hyperplanes. In Plane (two Dimensional) Geometry, They Are Known As Polygons And Comprise Such Figures As Triangles, Squares, Pentagons, Etc. In Solid (three Dimensional) Geometry They Are Known As Polyhedra And Include Such Figures As Tetrahedra (a Type Of Pyramid), Cubes, Icosahedra, And Many More; The Possibilities, In Fact, Are Infinite! H. S. M. Coxeter's Book Is The Foremost Book Available On Regular Polyhedra, Incorporating Not Only The Ancient Greek Work On The Subject, But Also The Vast Amount Of Information That Has Been Accumulated On Them Since, Especially In The Last Hundred Years. The Author, Professor Of Mathematics, University Of Toronto, Has Contributed Much Valuable Work Himself On Polytopes And Is A Well-known Authority On Them. Professor Coxeter Begins With The Fundamental Concepts Of Plane And Solid Geometry And Then Moves On To Multi-dimensionality. Among The Many Subjects Covered Are Euler's Formula, Rotation Groups, Star-polyhedra, Truncation, Forms, Vectors, Coordinates, Kaleidoscopes, Petrie Polygons, Sections And Projections, And Star-polytopes. Each Chapter Ends With A Historical
