A thoroughly contemporary approach to teaching essential engineering graphics skills has made Fundamentals of Solid Modeling and Graphics Communication the leading textbook in introductory engineering graphics courses. The seventh edition continues to integrate design concepts and the use of 3D CAD modeling into its outstanding coverage of the basic visualization and sketching techniques that enable students to create and communicate graphic ideas effectively. The primary goal of this text is to help the engineering and technology student learn the techniques and standard practices of technical graphics, so that design ideas can be adequately communicated and produced. As in past editions, the authors have included many examples of how graphics communication pertains to "real-world" engineering design, including current industry practices and breakthroughs.

This Interpretive Lexicon has two primary functions aimed at facilitating the exegetical and translational task, namely as a lexicon and also as an interpretive handbook. First, this book lists the vast majority of Greek prepositions, adverbs, particles, relative pronouns, conjunctions, and other connecting words that are notorious for being some of the most difficult words to translate. For each word included, page references are given for several major lexical resources where the user can quickly go to examine the nuances and parameters of the word for translation options. This book will save considerable time for students of the Greek New Testament text. For example, for the Greek preposition en (occurs 2,750 times in the New Testament) covers four pages of small print in the Bauer-Danker lexicon (BDAG). But Interpretive Lexicon digests those pages in just a few lines, with the page numbers and section references given for A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd Edition (BDAG, ’00) and 2nd Edition (BAGD, ’79), Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics (Daniel B. Wallace), and Prepositions and Theology in the Greek New Testament (Murray J. Harris). Thus, the translation options can be analyzed quickly. For words with a lower frequency of occurrence and fewer translation options, this book may be sufficient in itself as a lexicon.
Secondly, these prepositions, conjunctions, adverbs, and connecting words in Greek, as in every language, function as explicit discourse-level markers that are essential for ascertaining the main point(s) of a passage. Therefore, this Interpretive Lexicon also evaluates the discourse function(s) of each word that is defined and catalogued, and categorizes its semantic range into defined logical relationships. This feature of the lexicon adds an interpretive element, since translation must include interpretation, at least on a linguistic level. For example, en may be translated in many ways, but those ways are categorized broadly in this book into relationships such as locative (in, among, on), means-end (with, by), grounds (because, on account of), temporal (while, at), and so on. This interpretive feature of the book is tremendously helpful for the exegetical process, allowing for the translator to closely follow the logical flow of the text with greater efficiency. This Interpretive Lexicon is thus a remarkable resource for student, pastor, and scholar alike.

The modern graphics course has largely done away with board drafting as an intermediate step between the preliminary, rough sketch of a design and the initial prototype. Engineers refine their design ideas directly on a CAD system. Students need extra assistance with the process of visualization, and with preparing initial freehand sketches of design ideas, before they are sufficiently prepared to work in CAD. This text provides a tie-in between freehand sketching as a means of visualizing an initial design idea, and solid modeling on a CAD system as a tool for refining the design. The workbook format gives students numerous drawing exercises to build their visualization and sketching skills.

This exciting workbook uses actual projects from fields of engineering, architecture, and business to demonstrate how to transform static drawing, storyboards, and preliminary sketches into professional-quality, 3D models, rendering, and animations. The book begins with an overview of the basic process of animation, taking the reader through the discrete steps of concept development and storyboarding, model construction, scene layout, animation setup, and final editing and composition. Working with tutorial assignments provided with Autodesk, Inc.'s 3D Studio program and additional exercises developed by the authors, readers then explore in detail the skills involved in modeling, rendering, and animating their designs. The book concludes with four in-depth 3D modeling projects that demonstrate how 3D Studio is used to create a manufactured product assembly, an engineering process model, an architectural walk-through, and a company logo. In this exciting hands-on book, Duff and Ross not only demonstrate the graphic capabilities of 3D Studio, but empower readers to create their own design and product visualizations, following a well-defined and understandable procedure used by graphics professionals.

In this study of the language of the Septuagint, William A. Ross approaches the corpus in light of its contemporary Greek linguistic environment rather than by comparing the Greek to a supposed Hebrew or Aramaic Vorlage. Ross employs a textually based study of the double text of Judges. The results offer a window into the Old Greek translation and its later revision, two distinct stages of the book with numerous instances of divergent vocabulary choices that reflect deliberateness in both the original selection and the subsequent change within the textual development of the book. In the process, Ross also outlines the many challenges of Septuagint lexicography and points the way forward.

With a strong emphasis on graphical exercises and clear, relevant examples to illustrate concepts along the way, SKETCHING FOR ENGINEERING DESIGN VISUALIZATION is the ideal resource for learning engineering design and visualization. Logically structured and organized into 10 chapters that reflect the natural progression of topics, from basic to more complex, the book gives special attention to three-dimensional visualization. It is the perfect standalone guide and also a valuable supplement to any other CAD or graphics book, designed to greatly enhance the learning experience of anyone seeking a more in-depth understanding of sketching for engineering design visualization.
