The Shape of Space, Third Edition maintains the standard of excellence set by the previous editions.

Weeks is a freelance geometer living in Canton, New York. With support from the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Mac Arthur Foundation and several science museums, his work spans pure mathematics, applications in cosmology and-closest to his heart-exposition for the general public.
