A revision of the landmark text in engineering graphics. While maintaining this book's hallmark feature, a set of precise and fully-machinable drawing, The Sixth edition features a new, modern, and motivating pedagogy that improves the student learning experience. Giesecke now features its own web page with animations, a VRML exploration section, and case studies, and also a presentation CD for instructors.
