3D Game Environments: Create Professional 3D Game Worlds

Focal Press, 2008

Let me begin by saying that this is not a book about game level design; rather, it is about creating art for a game world. This is an important distinction.

Living Water: Viktor Schauberger and the Secrets of Natural Energy

Newleaf, 2002

Many people suggested that I write a book on Viktor Schauberger, the extraordinary natural scientist, inventor and philosopher. Already in the 1920s he forewarned us, in speeches and articles, of the environmental crisis in which we are now caught and from which we seem to have little hope of escaping. In his lifetime he met mostly resistance and...

Integrative Physiology in the Proteomics and Post-Genomics Age

Humana Press, 2005

There is a perception in the scientific community that the discipline of Physiology is in crisis, or at least, in a phase of profound transition and change. At the root of the problem is confusion between objectives (the biological questions to be solved) and the methods and technologies to be applied. Traditionally, ever since...
