Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to descriptive geometry, a fundamental element of engineering, architecture, and design. The author presents a thorough examination of orthogonal projection, a technique used to represent three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional plane. Descriptive geometry has a rich history, with its origins in the Renaissance when artists and architects sought to develop accurate methods for representing perspective in their work. The author traces the evolution of the subject through the contributions of mathematicians and engineers, highlighting its significance in the development of modern engineering and design disciplines. The book delves into the principles of descriptive geometry, guiding readers through the construction and interpretation of projections, the determination of angles and distances, and the analysis of spatial relationships. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the geometry of three-dimensional objects and their representation on a two-dimensional plane. With its clear explanations, detailed examples, and insightful discussions, this book offers a solid foundation in descriptive geometry for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the representation of three-dimensional space. Its relevance extends beyond the classroom, as descriptive geometry continues to play a vital role in various fields, including computer graphics, robotics, and engineering design.

Cloth - Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good+. No Jacket. John Gould, Johann Strum, Others (illustrator). First German. Issued in four parts from 1841 to 1847, and preceded by a prospectus. 36 hand colored lithographs after Gould and Sturm, and two black and white plate after G. Scharf, and A. Koppel. This set has been professionally restored and rebound, mid-20th century. All text leaves have been bleached and cleaned. Text and plate leaves have been trimmed to approx. 12 1/2 x 9 inches. Each part has been separately hardbound with green cloth over spines, and light tan paper over boards. The original covers have been trimmed to approx. 11 x 8 inches and affixed to new covers. The two page prospectus by both Sturms is dated 1840 and bound into the first part. The prospectus cover is affixed to a custom, cloth covered, slipcase that houses all four parts. Original paper covers show some light penciled marks on the prospectus cover and Part I cover. All of the original covers show some wear, though original lettering and border decoration remain good. Later bindings remain Fine. Lower outside corner of prospectus page shows a 1 x 2 inch replacement of lost paper, not affecting any of the text. Text leaves are bright and very clean, showing only occasional light and small foxing. Plate sheets are just a little age toned and show light offsetting and occasional foxing. Images remain very bright and clean. Zimmer (1926, page 256) states: ".Pts. I-III contained 10 plates and 10 leaves of text, each; Pt. IV contained 6 colored plates and the accompanying text, and a translation of Owen's article on the anatomy of the toucan with its plate, to which is added a second plate and further remarks by Rudolf Wagner. The principal part of the general text is based on Gould's Monograph of the Ramphastidae," 1833-35 (q.v.), of which it is, in places, a literal translation; but considerable of the matter is rewritten or revised and there are additional species described herein for the first time. The plates are sometimes redrawn and reduced from Gould, but frequently altered or designed afresh, while the illustrations of the new species are entirely new. There is no title page, since the work was never carried to completion.".
