The theory of convex bodies is nowadays an important independent topic of geometry. The author discusses the equiaffine geometry and differential geometry of convex bodies and convex surfaces and especially stresses analogies to classical Euclidean differential geometry. These theories are illustrated by practical applications in areas such as shipbuilding. He offers an accessible introduction to the latest developments in the subject.
