* Reviews *
Book Review--"Students will become engrossed in learning how Renaissance painters used perspective to fool the viewer into thinking that they were looking into a space beyond the canvas, wall or ceiling rather than merely at the flat painted surface. Each of these volumes vivifies mathematics for students and teachers alike." Recommended.
