These full-color illustrations are at once aesthetically captivating and instructive. Each page consists of colorful images of tesseracts (4D hypercubes) or glomes (4D hyperspheres) with a paragraph caption describing the figures at the bottom.
Color is used effectively to show how to visualize the features of tesseracts and glomes, how to draw tesseracts in perspective, how a tesseract unfolds, how the features of tesseracts and glomes change as they rotate, how to find the intersection of a tesseract or glome with a hyperplane, how hyperspherical coordinates are defined, how to understand hypercompass directions, and how to draw longitudes, hyperlatitudes, and latitudes. Rectangular hyperboxes and a hyperellipsoid are also shown.
