Ray-Tracing Pocket Book (Paperback) offers a compelling take on ray tracing, though not without flaws. While the treatment of graphics is excellent, I found the sections on Books less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about 3D that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Game Development more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computers & Technology, if not the definitive work.
