Ideas of projective geometry keep reappearing in seemingly unrelated fields of mathematics. This 2005 book provides a rapid route for graduate students and researchers to the frontiers of contemporary research in this evergreen subject. Exercises play a prominent role: historical and cultural comments relate the basic notions to a broader context.
