Morris Langlo West (Melbourne, 26 aprile 1916 – Sydney, 9 ottobre 1999) è stato uno scrittore australiano. Il suo primo successo letterario fu il romanzo L'avvocato del diavolo (1959), vincitore del James Tait Black Memorial Prize, al quale fece seguito una serie di romanzi fantapolitici ricchi d'intreccio e di suspense. Tra essi vanno ricordati: La figlia del silenzio (1961), Nei panni di Pietro (1963), L'ambasciatore (1965), La torre di Babele (1968), Scandalo all'assemblea (1970), Lupo rosso (1971), La salamandra (1973), L'arlecchino (1975), I giullari di Dio (1979), L'arcicorruttore (1987), Un tocco da maestro (1989), Lazzaro (1990), Il grande mediatore (1991). Si spense mentre stava lavorando al suo ventottesimo romanzo, ispirato alla vicenda di Giordano Bruno, che avrebbe intitolato L'ultima confessione, pubblicato postumo nel 2000.

"Prepared to meet the wants of those students who only require the Geometry necessary for the Art Student's Course. Contains over seven hundred figures arranged in a convenient form, and a very complete and exhaustive collection of exercises, and covers rather more ground than is absolutely necessary for the South Kensington Examination in Geometrical Drawing. The Chapter on Solid Geometry has been made unusually full, as the Author's experience is that one of the student's chief difficulties is the want of sufficient variety of examples in this important branch of the subject." - Preface to first edition.
