Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a methodology to analyze and construct both shades and shadows as they would appear in either a convex or concave object. The author begins with a discussion on light rays in space and how their geometric properties relate to both shades and shadows, which the author defines precisely. Problems of varying complexity are introduced, and each is solved using a geometric construction technique with accompanying descriptive text. There are no restrictions on the complexity of the object(s) creating the shades and shadows, the complexity of the receiving plane, or the direction and position of the light rays. This allows the author to tackle a wide range of problems that are both practically and theoretically useful. By the end of the first part of this two-part book, the reader will have a well-rounded understanding of graphical constructions for shades and shadows in not only one plane, but multiple planes that are both perpendicular and parallel to each other. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282686260_0
