"Treks into Intuitive Geometry is a delightful read covering various topics in geometry, from tilings of the plane to three-dimensional solids. . This book is also filled with wonderful full-color illustrations. . With these concrete topics and easy-going style, this book can be enjoyed by mathematicians and recreational puzzlers alike." (Tricia Muldoon Brown, MAA Reviews, maa.org, April, 2016)

"The authors' efforts to provide figures and experiments, as well as the many references with 'everyday life' suchas art, architecture and optimization, will be appreciated by teachers or self-taugth readers. In various way, this book is poetic, and contains several references to the Japanese culture and history. It is uncommon in its construction, well illustrated and entertaining. In summary, a good outreach book for a broad audience." (Matthieu Jacquemet, zbMATH 1339.52001, 2016)
