Suggested Reading and References For further reading, consider College Geometry by Nathan Altshiller Court and Ruler and Compasses by Hilda P. Hudson. These books have been reprinted in inexpensive editions by Chelsea Publishing Company. If you read German, seek out the book by L. Bieberbach; if you read French, seek out the book by Henri Lebesgue. Also, you may find a lot of interesting geometry in Foundations of Geometry by David Hilbert. For biographies of mathemati­ cians and scientists, enjoy wandering among the eighteen volumes of the Dic­ tionary of Scientific Biography, edited by Charles Coulston Gillispie. The following list of references includes only those references on geomet­ ric constructions that the author has seen. For each entry, the name of the author is as it appears on the cited work. A complete bibliography would be much longer than this entire book. Many more references to the sub­ ject, especially references at an elementary level, may be found in various bibliographies by William L. Schaaf. 190 Suggested Reading and References Aaboe, Asger, Episodes from the Early History of Mathematics, New Math­ ematical Library Vol. 13, Mathematical Association of America, 1964.
