Figure 12.7.11 (Page 845): 

 

(A Hyperbolic Paraboloid)

This first view has cuts at the top and bottom that are hyperbolic traces parallel to the xy-plane.  In this view the viewer angle with the z-axis is 85 degrees.

In the next view the top horizontal cut has been omitted; this helps to emphasize the parabolic traces parallel to the xy-plane.
