While high-quality books and journals in this field continue to proliferate,
none has yet come close to matching the Handbook of Discrete and Computational
Geometry, which in its first edition, quickly became the definitive reference
work in its field. But with the rapid growth of the discipline and the many
advances made over the past seven years, it's time to bring this standard-
setting reference up to date.

Editors Jacob E. Goodman and Joseph O'Rourke reassembled their stellar panel
of contributors, added manymore, and together thoroughly revised their work
to make the most important results and methods, both classic and cutting-edge,
accessible in one convenient volume. Now over more then 1500 pages, the Handbook
of Discrete and Computational Geometry, Second Edition once again provides
unparalleled, authoritative coverage of theory, methods, and applications.

Highlights of the Second Edition:

Thirteen new chapters: Five on applications and others on collision detection,
nearest neighbors in high-dimensional spaces, curve and surface reconstruction,
embeddings of finite metric spaces, polygonal linkages, the discrepancy method,
and geometric graph theory
Thorough revisions of all remaining chapters
Extended coverage of computational geometry software, now comprising two
chapters: one on the LEDA and CGAL libraries, the other on additional software
Two indices: An Index of Defined Terms and an Index of Cited Authors
Greatly expanded bibliographies
