Does anyone know of any good resources for the proof of the number of Archimedean solids (also known as semiregular polyhedra)?


I have seen a couple of algebraic discussions but no true proof. Also, I am looking more at trying to prove it topologically, but for now, any resource will help.\*


\*I worked on this project a bit as an undergraduate and am just now getting back into it.



On the number of Archimedean solids
A proof of the enumeration theorem for the Archimedean solids (which basically dates back to Kepler) can be found in the beautiful book [*"Polyhedra"*](http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=OJowej1QWpoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=cromwell+polyhedra&source=bl&ots=R2YEvXquUw&sig=eujgkMXZQRwcRiv9DIimWU7tn90&hl=en&ei=B2TlTM-zNsidOreixYcK&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q&f=false) by P.R. Cromwell (Cambridge University Press 1997, pp. 162-167).
