Folding Techniques for Designers: From Sheet to Form

Laurence King Publishing, 2011

Many designers use folding techniques in their work to make three-dimensional forms from two-dimensional sheets of fabric, cardboard, plastic, metal, and many other materials. This unique book explains the key techniques of folding, such as pleated surfaces, curved folding and crumpling. An elegant, practical handbook, it covers over 70...

Astronomy Demystified (Demystified)

McGraw-Hill, 2002

This book is for people who want to learn basic astronomy without taking a formal course. It also can serve as a supplemental text in a classroom, tutored, or home-schooling environment. I recommend that you start at the beginning of this book and go straight through.

In this book, we’ll go on a few “mind...

Effective Computational Geometry for Curves and Surfaces (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2006

This book covers combinatorial data structures and algorithms, algebraic issues in geometric computing, approximation of curves and surfaces, and computational topology. Each chapter fully details and provides a tutorial introduction to important concepts and results. The focus is on methods which are both well founded mathematically and...

Opengl Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning Opengl, Version 1.1

Addison Wesley, 1997

OpenGL is a powerful software interface for graphics hardware that allows graphics programmers to produce high-quality color images of 3D objects. The functions in the OpenGL library enable programmers to build geometric models, view models interactively in 3D space, control color and lighting, manipulate pixels, and perform such tasks as alpha...

Shoot Macro: Professional Macrophotography Techniques for Exceptional Studio Images

Amherst Media, 2014

Few areas of photography require the level of unwavering technical expertise required for successful macrophotography. When you’re shooting very big images of very small subjects, even tiny flaws—be it in the lighting, composition, focusing, or any other aspect of the process—can result in unusable images. In this...
