Topological results from geometry

Hi people,

I'm interested in results, such as the Gauß-Bonnet theorem, Fàry-Milnor theorem or classification theorems for manifolds, which give topological properties from geometric considerations. Can anyone recommend some good texts? In particular I'd like to see a nice proof of Fàry-Milnor and of the theorem of turning tangents (total curvature of an imbedded plane curve is $2\pi$).

thanks
