Near fine/very good. 8vo., 416pp., geometrical drawings, graphs, appendix, index. --"The first edition of this book was published by Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc. This second edition, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in addition to making corrections to the first edition, includes a new chapter (XI) entitled "Principles of Descriptive Geometry Applied to Practical Problems". Chapters XI is devoted entirely to problems for solution by the student. These problems are related to real life situations in various areas of engineering and architecture. Condition. "From an overview of the history of descriptive geometry to the application of the principles of descriptive geometry to real-world scenarios, 'Fundamentals of Three-Dimensional Descriptive Geometry provides a comprehensive look at the topic. Used throughout the disciplines of science, engineering, and architecture, descriptive geometry is crucial for everything from understanding the various segments and inter-workings of structural systems to grasping the relationship of molecules in a chemical compound. For those requiring a full accounting of the fundamentals of three-dimensional descriptive geometry, this text is a definitive and comprehensive resource."-wiley.com.
