Figueiredo, V. L.; de Oliveira, E. C.; Rodrigues, Waldyr A. jun. Clifford algebras and the hidden geometrical nature of spinors. (English) Zbl 0774.53008 Algebras Groups Geom. 7, No. 2, 153-198 (1990). This is a survey paper in which the authors explain the relationship between three different approaches to spinors: the covariant definition, the ideal (Clifford algebra) definition, and the operator definition. Their exposition is clear and a useful contribution to the literature, even if it is somewhat overenthusiastic in tone and not entirely new in content.
