The main emphasis in this text is to introduce basic graphics material to engineers who will later use various CAD systems. The book includes: Tools and Techniques of Manual Graphics, Representation of the Three-Dimensional World, Clarification of Shapes and Sizes, Spatial Analysis, and Visual Techniques to Communicate and Analyze Data. The workbook that accompanies this main text is a problems book that contains exercises and drawing problems for the first course in graphics leading up to CAD. The set includes the main text along with the workbook prepared by Hugh Rogers. The pair can be shrinkwrapped with the user's choice of separate users manuals on either CADKEY or AUTOCAD systems.

Designed for introductory engineering graphics courses, this text provides coverage of a range of topics in the fundamentals of graphs. It features topics on basic graphics and space geometry, providing core material for any first course in engineering drawing. Offering both traditional and new material, there is new coverage of design, CAD and data presentation. Other changes in the 14th edition include expansion of the discussion of space geometry, more attention to CAD, and highlighting the broader role of the designer in society. The accompanying workbook by Hugh Rogers is tied directly to the text and provides the student with hands-on experience in problem-solving. Also available is a package containing the textbook and workbook (ISBN=0-07-911368-0).

"Foster shows us how seemingly banal activities like making a phone call, chewing betel nut, watching a Coke commercial may give important insights into the ways in which the nation is constructed, materialized or contested."―Orvar Löfgren, author of On Holiday: A History of Vacationing
Why, in the current era of globalization, does nationality remain an important dimension of personal and collective identities? In Materializing the Nation, Robert J. Foster argues that the contested process of nation making in Papua New Guinea unfolds not only through organized politics but also through mundane engagements with commodities and mass media. He offers a thoughtful critique of recent approaches to nationalism and consumption and an ethnographic perspective on constructs of the nation found in official policy documents, letters to the editor, school textbooks, song lyrics, advertisements, and other materials. This volume will appeal to readers interested in the links among nationalism, consumption, and media, in Melanesia and elsewhere.
