Reference Request - Developement of Geometry

Question

I am looking for a reference that explains the developement of geometry that includes the developement from around the mid nineteenth century to modern geometry. By explain, I mean that it gives reasons to why one would introduce or alter given ideas.

Answer 1

The book Geometry from a differentiable viewpoint might fit what you are asking for, although the focus is on the development of differential geometry, as you might guess from the title.
