Written by an expert in the game industry, Christer Ericson’s new book is a comprehensive guide to the components of efficient real-time collision detection systems. The book provides the tools and know-how needed to implement industrial-strength collision detection for the highly detailed dynamic environments of applications such as 3D games, virtual reality applications, and physical simulators.Of the many topics covered, a key focus is on spatial and object partitioning through a wide variety of grids, trees, and sorting methods. The author also presents a large collection of intersec

Toxicogenomics analyses the activity of a particular toxin or chemical substance on living tissue based upon a profiling of its known effects on genetic material. Toxicogenomics is important because it may enhance understanding of mechanisms of toxicity, cellular defence systems, and drug action. If this technique is proven to work, it could be used in a similar way for toxicology and toxin-determination to DNA-testing in the forensic identification of individuals. Comparative Toxicogenomics provides a timely overview of current achievements and future areas of development including a review o

Although Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of Russia in June 1941, is widely perceived seen as a great land offensive, equally important was the aerial supremacy that the Luftwaffe achieved over the front during its early phases. Without the elimination of the threat posed by the Soviet air force, it would have been impossible for the army to have made the rapid advances of the summer and autumn of 1941. This book provides a detailed account of the massive aerial campaign fought in the skies over the Soviet Union following the launch of Operation Barbarossa. Drawing on both Russian an

From the roots of the German SA, or Stormtroopers, grew an espionage machine that rivaled and vexed the rest of the world through the thirties and right up to the final days of World War II. The SD, Abwehr, Gestapo, and many other units of the German intelligence operations were feared and hated, with good reason. This is the thrilling story of their ascent and demise. Hitler’s Espionage Machine examines in detail the history of each unit-its formation, the missions it carried out, and its importance in the war as a whole. It explores the myths that have grown up around the agencies, inc

Erwin Rommel was a brilliant tactician and an inspiring leader of men. His views were perfectly attuned to the German Blitzkrieg style of warfare. Rommel’s Panzers is a chronicle of how the fusion of Erwin Rommel with the panzer divisions resulted in some of the most spectacular victories experienced by the German Army in World War II.Rommel’s Panzers is an examination of why Rommel and his Panzers were so successful, and includes an analysis of the composition, tactics, doctrine, personnel, and hardware of the panzer divisions.

This concise yet comprehensive introduction to the biology of standing waters (lakes and ponds) combines traditional limnology with current ecological and evolutionary theory. It integrates the effects of abiotic constraints and biotic interactions at both the population and community level, allowing the reader to understand how the distribution and success of different organisms in this freshwater habitat can be explained and predicted. The book is focused on temperate lakes and ponds, drawing on examples from polar and tropical systems to provide a broader context. The Biology of Lakes an
