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.
