Another good book

The only part of a school math course I have never taught is geometry.  My favorite part of a standard school course :-)  I come back to it from time to time in our Math club.  But most of my students do not share my passion.  Maybe one day I will ask to try to teach it.  Not now, I am not ready yet.
BTW I should mention a book that I like.  It connects geometry and nature (physics in particular) according to the ideas of a late V. Arnold.  This book is Measurement by Paul Lockhart.  I do enjoy it, there are many good geometry problems on each page.  If you like geometry, open this book, and you will have a lot of fun.
