This wonderful compendium, a triumph of triangle exegesis, is by a retired artillery colonel and avid mathematics enthusiast. Compiling results from a century ago and earlier, the work's charm is its comprehensive curation of a dizzying gallery of special points, lines, and circles related to triangles and a few other shapes, such as quadrilaterals.
