Rezensionen

"This is the book that everybody interested in topological (incidence) geometry has been waiting for. It is the most comprehensive account of all important results relating to compact projective planes and for years to come it will be the standard reference and a must read for everybody who wants to learn about or work in topological geometry. The material in the book originated from a multitude of sources scattered in the literature and has been completely reworked, streamlined and complemented to produce a self-contained whole. Although the book is of a specialist nature, the authors have made every effort to make it accessible and of interest to as broad a section of the mathematical community as possible." Mathematical Reviews

"The book provides a wealth of information and should prove an extremely useful text both as an introduction to compact, connected topological projective planes as well as a valuable and convenient reference and a sound foundation for future investigations. The book is a highly readable, self-contained monograph. It serves as an excellent advertisement for topological geometry and will attract many more mathematicians to this area. Various chapters may appeal to the interested broader mathematical community." Zentralblatt für Mathematik
