Although Leonardo’s Giant Crossbow is one of his most popular drawings, it has been one of the least understood. "Leonardo’s Giant Crossbow" offers the first in-depth account of this drawing’s likely purpose and its highly resolved design. This fascinating book has a wealth of technical information about the Giant Crossbow drawing, as it’s a complete study of this project, though this is as accessible to the general audience as much as it is also informative with new discoveries for the professors of engineering, technology and art. The book explores the context of Leonardo’s invention with an examination of the extensive documentary evidence, a short history of the great crossbow and ballista, the first accurate translation of the text and the technical specifications, and a detailed analysis of Leonardo’s design process for the crossbow, from start to finish.

The Book of Urizen is the Genesis and Exodus of Blake's "Bible of Hell" (Marriage of Heaven and Hell 24). It tells of Urizen's fall into solipsism and its consequences for his companions, in particular Los but also others drawn into his vision of the world. The world is created out of this fall. The book ends with Fuzon, a Moses figure, leading his people out of Egypt (Urizen's world). The Book of Ahania continues the story of Fuzon's conflict with Urizen. Urizen's sexual repression and its consequent prudery are further explored. The Book of Los retells the story of the creation of the world from a different point of view, exploring Los's motivation as the demiurge of this world who gives concrete form to Urizen's abstractions.

This book is all meat and cuts right to the point - modeling and texturing game weapons like a professional. Written by Christian Chang, weapons modeler on America’s Army and now at EA, this book delivers what the reader wants. Starting with a discussion on customizing your modeling application for ease of use, the book emphasizes the importance of employing professional techniques when setting up your project. From there, the chapters concentrate on creating specific weapons - from a samurai sword to a modern high-velocity, fully-automatic machine gun - in a step-by-step progression from simple to complex. Each weapon is modeled, UV mapped, optimized, and finally textured for realism.

Когда стрелки на приборах неистово задергались, а по рукоятям и рычагам заплясали юркие ослепительно белые молнии электрических разрядов, я понял, что мы угодили в «сварку». Первым, чисто инстинктивным движением стал удар по тормозам.
