This is a book for the biologist who is not an artist and the artist who is not a biologist--every biology student who intends to write a thesis deserves to own this book, as does the biologist who intends to publish or work up some vital aids for his or her own use. It is designed to help biologists who must create their own illustrations and artists who are confronted with unfamiliar biological subjects. The author, an experienced biological illustrator, gives practical instructions and advice on the consideration of size and of printing processes, choice of materials, methods for saving time and labor, drawing techniques, lettering methods, and mounting and packing the finished illustrations. She explains how to produce clear and attractive charts, graphs, and maps, so essential to science publications. 137 pages, indexed. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. 1988, University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London
