Summary
This book develops some of the extraordinary richness, beauty, and power of geometry in two and three dimensions, and the strong connection of geometry with topology. Hyperbolic geometry is the star. A strong effort has been made to convey not just denatured formal reasoning (definitions, theorems, and proofs), but a living feeling for the subject. There are many figures, examples, and exercises of varying difficulty. This book was the origin of a grand scheme developed by Thurston that is…

Critics Review
Winner of the 2005 Book Prize, American Mathematical Society Winner of the 1997 for the Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Mathematics, Association of American Publishers
Winner of the 2005 Book Prize, American Mathematical Society Winner of the 1997 for the Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Mathematics, Association of American Publishers “The present volume represents the culmination of nearly two decades of honoring his famous but difficult 1978 lecture notes. This beautifully produced, exquisitely organized volume now reads as easily as one could possibly hope given the profundity of the material. An instant classic.”–Choice
