VISUALIZATION OF NATURAL PHENOMENA, Robert S. Wolff and Larry Yaeger, Springer-Verlag, ISBN 0-387-97809-7, $59.95
With its large format and classy production, this 374-page volume might be mistaken for a coffee table book. But Visualization of Natural Phenomena is not for the browser interested in slick images; rather, its for scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who are ready to learn more about the benefits of visualization.
The book includes a CD-ROM (in Macintosh HFS format) and is organized around applications (e.g., imaging numbers and visualization of multivariate systems). While the CD provides you with real world examples of on-screen and animation (some with sound), the low-resolution displays only hint at the character and quality of images found on the true scientific-visualizat
ion workstations.
Flexible C++

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
