The contents of the book, 17 Jul 2002
I found this book very basic in contents, it is only about 80 pages loong, and half of those are very simple exercises! I found this book in researching a degree project, but i do not understand how it can have been used in periodical article refernces. The book does give a very basic overview of the definition of taxicab geometry, but expands very little on this, probably a good book for children to learn more entertaining aspects of maths, but of very little use as research material!

The best classical-style exposition of Riemannian Geometry., 03 Nov 1998
I bought the Russian translation of this book in 1954 and found that this is the best source of the Riemannian geometry, not only for a beginner (as I was at that time), but also for every specialist. Some items fully discussed there by L.P. Eisenhart were even rediscovered decades later --- and published another time as new results. This book is, of course, written in the old good traditional style, one will not find here, e.g., Cartan's forms, but it is really an everlasting treasure. Look also for the Continuous Groups of Transformations by the same author.
