1997, Daniel A. Klain, Gian-Carlo Rota, Introduction to Geometric Probability, Cambridge University Press, Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, page 30, We develop next a theory of invariant valuations for the lattice of finite unions of orthogonal parallelotopes, having edgers parallel to a fixed frame. […] This follows from the basic fact that the intersection of two parallelotopes is a parallelotope.
