In one textbook, Plane and Solid Geometry Essentials presents all the foundational materials of a semester and a half of high school geometry! It incorporates the impressive teaching methods of Professors H. Fawcett and George Polya plus suggestions from the fifth and thirteenth yearbooks of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the 1950's yearbook of Central Association of Science and Math Teachers (now School Science and Mathematics Association). This text prepares students with the Plane and Solid Geeometry needed for the for the first year calculus as well the trades and decision making. James Elander's career of high school and college teaching provides insight into what students and teachers need to make learning enjoyable, gratifying, and learn the skills of decision-making!
