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