Book Description
Magic awaits. . . at least that's what Sean and Marcus's dad always told them when they were children. Now adults, it seems that all of that magic is behind them. Marcus fills his days with sex, drugs, and rock and roll, while Sean focuses on growing their family owned ice cream shop into a worldwide brand. Suddenly, just moments before finalizing a deal to sell their shares in the family company to a multinational corporation, Sean and Marcus are inexplicably whisked away to a world of fairytales. But these aren't the friendly fairytale characters Sean and Marcus remember from classic bedtime stories . . . this is the world as it was originally imagined by the Brothers Grimm--rife with beheadings, bestiality, and brothels. From the award-winning creative team of Ken Kristensen (Marvel's ThePunisher, Image Comics's Todd, the Ugliest Kid on Earth) and M.K. Perker(Vertigo's Air, The Unwritten) comes another wildly irreverent adventure.

Pages : 510
Book Description
A dystopian thriller follows a boy and girl on the run from a town where all thoughts can be heard – and the passage to manhood embodies a horrible secret. Todd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him -- something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn't she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd's gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.

Book Description
“A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride!”—The New York Times Cat’s Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut’s satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet’s ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat’s Cradle is one of the twentieth century’s most important works—and Vonnegut at his very best. “[Vonnegut is] an unimitative and inimitable social satirist.”—Harper’s Magazine “Our finest black-humorist . . . We laugh in self-defense.”—Atlantic Monthly

Real-Time Collision Detection
Author: Christer Ericson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1558607323
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 634
Book Description
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 intersection and distance tests for both simple and complex geometric shapes. Sections on vector and matrix algebra provide the background for advanced topics such as Voronoi regions, Minkowski sums, and linear and quadratic programming. Of utmost importance to programmers but rarely discussed in this much detail in other books are the chapters covering numerical and geometric robustness, both essential topics for collision detection systems. Also unique are the chapters discussing how graphics hardware can assist in collision detection computations and on advanced optimization for modern computer architectures. All in all, this comprehensive book will become the industry standard for years to come.
