Has anyone read Stillwell's "Reverse Mathematics" and is willing to explain some of the intro chapter to me? The section on page 3 about the parallel axiom looks entirely wrong to me and I'm sure this is my misunderstanding rather than an error but I'm baffled and don't see how.

you're right on both counts, i think the statement can be fixed if it's changed to "if and only if"?
