Geometric Regular Polytopes
«'McMullen (emer., University College London) begins the text with a rapid, cogent review of relevant topics in linear algebra and group theory and proceeds to a thorough discussion of the properties and structures of geometric and abstract regular polytopes. The majority of the text details the classification and properties of geometric regular polytopes … This is a careful, comprehensive survey of the topic and will likely become a classic reference.' C. A. Gorini, Choice»
Regular polytopes and their symmetry have a long history stretching back two and a half millennia, to the classical regular polygons and polyhedra. Much of modern research focuses on abstract regular polytopes, but significant recent developments have been made on the geometric side, including the exploration of new topics such as realizations and rigidity, which offer a different way of understanding the geometric and combinatorial symmetry of polytopes.

«'This book, along with his previous book … is well-written and indispensable for every researcher or every student who wants to pursue research in this area.' Uma Kant Sahoo, Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications»
«'The book is without a doubt a modern bible on the current state of polytopes. It is no exaggeration to say that 'all of it' can be found in this book …' Peter McMullen, Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde»
