The Bones: Kivar (waterproof soft)

Literally only the propositions and diagrams for the Green Lion Press version of euclids elements. Very small. Great for forcing yourself to try and prove things yourself. Not so great if the statement is vague but becomes clear only within the proof details. Good buy

fundamentals are what I believe is the best and worthwhile way to learn by repetition. This book is the essentials tool.

I love the elements, but because of its size, I can only read it at home, which slows me down a lot.With this book you can bring the Elements with you everywhere. It's quite small, and thin too. I've found it very useful as a learning and reviewing tool; The format (diagram and enunciation without the proof), let you see right away if you understand each proposition. For those you understand, it's immediately obvious as the proof comes to your mind while looking at the diagram. For those you don't, it's really fun to try and come up with the proof, given the diagram is a major tip. whether you succeed or fail, it's a thrill to go back to the Full Elements, and read Euclid's proof, As your understanding is deeper. Another fun exercise when you are familiar with a proposition is trying to prove it in your mind with just the proposition. So many way to use this book, I'm wondering why no one had the idea before. With, this you Can master this timeless classic in a fun way.

This pocket edition of all thirteen books of Euclid’s “Elements” is a great on-the-go companion to Green Lion Press’ full set of Euclid’s “Elements”, featuring Heath’s translation, in a 500 page volume. “The Bones” is not suitable for learning the Euclid’s propositions, but for those who have already read the full edition, this smaller volume summarizes what each proposition is about without delving into too much detail.The binding is solid, the type and diagrams are well chosen, and the choice of a waterproof cover stock was very smart since this book is designed to be portable.

If you have any interest in Euclid's Elements of Geometry, then this will, I believe, interest you also. It is the Elements without the proofs. It is Heath's translation without his commentary. The design of the book is elegant. The layout is clear and clean. The diagrams have been redrawn and the fonts are crisp and inviting. The cover is durable and the pages are sewn in. The book fits well in the hands. It is a paperback the way paperbacks ought to be made. And it is Euclid. What more do you want?

Really cool book, minimal discussion mostly nuts and bolts proposition diagrams. I have the companion and look forward to spending more time with them.. Well made, perfect for design layout.
