(1977) The Book Show: Textbooks
|
Introductory geology students are often required to reproduce drawings from their textbooks for examination purposes. The 2-color line drawings in the text were designed to minimize the students’ problems with translating a textbook style into their own.
Special Features: Forty flip drawings showing the break-up of Pangaea were printed into the corners of the pages. As the student flips the relevant pages he sees the original landmass called Pangaea begin to break apart (about 200 million years ago); the final drawing shows the map of the world as we know it today.
