      The author gives a brief introductory treatment of some standard topics in finite geometry: projective planes, projective spaces, affine planes, Möbius planes, Hjelmslev planes, hyperbolic planes, partial geometries. While the exposition is nice enough, the paper suffers from the almost complete absence of references to more recent results, and is therefore not suited if one wants to get any idea of the current state of research in these areas.
