Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Two years ago when I started my masters in structural engineering, I had to learn about random field theory. The books that I found, considered the "must reads" for random field theory, might as well have been in Chinese (I don't understand Chinese - just for the record). It was extremely painful and...

Practical Poser 6 (Graphics) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I own pretty much every Poser book yet published. I have to admit, despite referring to them, and the manuals, and online communities like Daz3d, Renderosity, and RDNA, I've never put enough time into my Poser work to become an expert. It's still just a hobby I dabble in. However, I have become good...

C4D 9.5: Real-World 3D Animation Production (Charles River Media Graphics) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I was excited to get this title. For my needs, this book concentrated too much on use with thirdparty software and not enough on the depth of C4d itself and it's own modules. Perhaps that is what was intended. I don't regret adding it to my reference shelf for the odd consultation (books like this are...

Principles of Functional Verification Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Instead of attempting to teach you the "howtos" of functional verification this book teaches you the "whys". This causes it to be much less like a textbook than many others on the same subject. Therefore reading this book cover to cover is relatively easy and useful. Examples given are at the appropriate...

Production Rendering: Design and Implementation Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I won't hurt the rating by voting differently than the other two reviewers - I haven't read it! I wanted to check out this book because Amazon lists it as "1st Edition. edition (November 5, 2010)". It actually came out in 2004. I'm adding this "review" just so others are not fooled by this incorrect...
