This author really knows his subject well. He obviously has lots of experience with computers and wishes to pass that along to others. It's great for the beginner or expert.

As far as a painless and quick introduction to Netscape (while still covering plenty material) is concerned, its probably not possible to do better than this book.While the style is pleasant and relaxed ,the author still manages to bring the reader up to scratch fast, on just about all the typical user would want to know to enable them to confidently "navigate the internet"

Overall, I find this book very good. It covers detailed step-by-step information on how to go about creating technical illustrations using Adobe Illustrator. Of course the book assumes you KNOW Illustrator. (If you never used it, don't start whining that it doesn't cover how to use Illustrator!) You'll be guided to create illustrations using standard isometric, dimetric, trimetric, and perspective views, using step-by-step details about how to setup the view and how to create and position ellipses and other object correctly based on the view. The book covers how to create correct and compelling line illustrations, and later, how to apply color and shading for realistic looks. The book also covers illustration techniques using 3ds Max and AutoCAD, but most of the book is focuses on Adobe Illustrator. (You can use any version of Illustrator, by the way.) The only negative comment I have is that there are quite a few typos. I didn't expect a book not to have typos, I mean it does happen, but for a $100 book there are a lot of it! Despite the errors, I would still highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to create correct technical illustrations because of the invaluable advice and detail given. I would like to thank professor Duff for writing this book! (And I'd recommend the publisher, McGraw-Hill, to actually use a spell checker before they publish such an expensive book!)

"Typically a reader obtains their first impression of a new book by identifying the authors, the title and the blurb on the back, in that order, and to follow this algorithm would be to have the reader expect that the book is about statistical analysis in microarray experiments, alone. Even a cursory examination of the table of contents and skimming chapters and the color plates might perpetuate this view, but actually the book is much more than that"

My experience with LinuxCAD book and the program.
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 1999-05-04
The book describes drafting program for new emerging operating system: Linux. Linux is a multitasking, multiuser operating system for PCs Sun Workstations and other computers. Up to recent time the usage of this extremely reliable and fully networked OS was limited by lack of application software which runs under it. LinuxCAD is the first CAD package developed for Linux. I purchased the book , installed LinuxCAD from the attached disks on my Linux Intel PC and used book as an instruction how to work in the program. As it appears LinuxCAD is very similar to Acad that I worked before , I was using book and the program for creating technical illustration for my University coursework. Good job folks. We need more developers like you so Linux can prevail !!! I may recommend the book and the program to anyone who would like to do any kind of drafting works on Linux. Program was pretty stable and I had not even one crash , although I may say the book is very helpful too, it helps to get up to speed with LinuxCAD very quickly.

The collaborative effort of computer animation experts Frederic I.

An in-depth, exhaustive, and scholarly "how-to" text, Computer Facial Animation is an impressively comprehensive, 365-page textbook which is especially recommended for advanced students of graphics, mathematics, and programming.
