From Book News, Inc. Provides a systematic exposition of 40 years of research on topological projective planes, presenting full proofs of the highlights of the theory, and prerequisite information from Lie theory and classical quaternion and octonion geometry. Contains chapters on the classical planes; background on planes, coordinates, and collineations; geometries on surfaces; compact projective planes; algebraic topology of compact, connected planes; homogeneity; four- dimensional planes; and eight- and 16-dimensional planes, plus an appendix on tools from topology and Lie theory.
