The well-known classical geometries, Euclidean, spherical and hyperbolic, are presented here in a general context, each linked by certain geometric themes. This 2007 textbook provides for a thorough introduction to, and examples of, the more general theory of curved spaces, and more generally, abstract surfaces with Riemannian metrics.
