Its got a good treatment of a lot of different topics, and the suggestions for projects are pretty neat. It covers most important topics, like lighting models, colors, raytracing, radiosity, normal scan line algorithms, animation, texture mapping. Kind of an introductory level book, but overall quite well done. It also includes source code in Pascal for a 3-D wireframe/zbuffer package. All in all a good deal. Mark
