Euclid
The Great Geometer
The Library of Greek Philosophers
Euclid is known as the father of modern geometry. Thriving during his time, Euclid came up with some of the most basic but groundbreaking developments in geometry, which are still used today. This book takes readers into Euclid's life, and to the ancient Greece in which he was raised, with full-color and black-and-white images, many of which are primary sources.

Series Review--"This series introduces students to the great philosophers and mathematicians who helped shaped the intellectual world in modern times. More in depth than many text books for middle school students, the lives and teachings of these men come alive with the aid of colorful maps and illustrations, as well as examples of the kinds of knowledge these men taught to their students..." -Tracy Fitzwater, Librarian, Crescent School District, Joyce, Washington
